Is there a free IDE for Strawberry Perl, running in Windows, that is both visual and interactive?

Some of our build servers have a 32-bit Windows OS, others have a 64-bit Windows OS. Is there a free IDE for Strawberry Perl that is compatible with both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems?

Currently we debug our Perl scripts by using the "-d" debug option on the command line, to go through the Perl code line-by-line. However the command line option "perl -d", is text oriented, not visual, and is very cumbersome to use.

Is there a Perl IDE that can be downloaded free, and would provide a visual interactive mode that is less cumbersome than the "perl -d" command line mode?

I have studied the Perl IDEs "Padre" and "Perl Express". I found a webpage saying the "Padre" interactive mode has quit working. I found another webpage saying that "Perl Express" contains some bugs and has not been updated since December 2005.

Currently I am studying the "Netbeans" IDE, which is freeware, and which has a plugin making it compatible with Perl. For Netbeans see https://netbeans.org/downloads/, for the Netbeans Perl plugin see http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/36183/perl-on-netbeans). Has anyone tried Netbeans + the Netbeans Perl plugin to debug Perl programs in a visual, interactive manner? Did it work successfully?

Our requirements are having a Perl IDE: a) That is visually oriented (instead of text-oriented like "perl -d"). b) Allows a Perl program to be run and debugged line-by-line, in an easy to understand visual display. c) Is Freeware. d) Is compatible with Windows OS 32-bit and Windows OS 64-bit

Is there an existing Perl IDE that can be downloaded free, that meets the requirements listed above? I need to download and test Perl IDE's on my home computer, not my work computer, so I can't do such testing at the moment

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
