Check out Perl Programming Tools - (who, what, where, when, and why). My boss is actually the one that wrote that node in response to my request for some good perl tools. Being brought up in a windows world, I didn't appreciate vi. Since then we have tried a few but I still use vi for most everything. The more I work with vi, the more I like it. vi is most likely the editor of choice for most programmers on *nix (just a guess). I did find one shareware editor that I use on windows sometimes. It's pretty nice and will handle a lot more than perl. Check out MED - Programmer's Text Editor.
Update
I just checked the link above and it appears to not be working anymore. If I find a good link to their site, I'll post it back here.

OK I found it: Utopia-Planitia.com

That's strange. I thought they built galaxy class starships at Utopia Planitia not text editors.

• 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.
