I recommend getting the Eclipse IDE and adding the EPIC plugin.
Eclipse includes a Market Place, which is like an "App Store" for adding plugins/add-ons and other enhancements, one of which is the EPIC IDE.

EPIC adds code completion, live syntax checking, and a bunch of other features that make writing programs (and Perl modules) much easier.

Eclipse also includes Remote Systems Explorer (RSE) which gives integrated access to all of your remote systems (UNIX,Linux,Mac and Windows). You can edit/save/run remote files directly in the Eclipse IDE. RSE includes built in support (using putty) for SSH/SFTP so you can copy/paste files to remote machines.
