    Komodo SOUNDS nice, but they only announced it a couple of months ago, so who knows how long it will be before an actual IDE comes out of it? At least it will be open-source! I too love UltraEdit when I'm using Windows and I personally like CoolEdit when I'm editing on Linux, BUT the lack of a decent IDE, IMHO is one of the biggest drawbacks that Perl programmers face vs. the VStudio/Websphere/VisualAge/ColdFusion crowd. And who says that we have to use the proprietary crap that MS will put in there? If there's an option to use their ActiveState/MS' IDE for only development, code versioning and debugging, then why not? Sure, I'd FAR RATHER use an OSS IDE with CVS tie-ins, but I sure don't see one out there yet...
