in reply to Is there a free IDE for Strawberry Perl, running in Windows, that is interactive?

Komodo IDE has a good and "visual" debugger integration, where you can interactively set breakpoints in source and step thru.

Komodo Edit is the (limited) free version, I suppose it still has debuger integration.

Emacs has by default similar debugger integration, but key oriented and less "visual" (i.e. you don't click buttons, see description, Screenshot. And it has more of a learning curve.

In the end all IDE supports are just wrappers around the functionality of perldebug

should be noted that Komodo builds on XUL which IIRC Mozilla stopped developing further. I'm ignorant what this means for the future of Komodo.
