in reply to Whats your development environment

I try to avoid editing anything server side.

I do everything locally.

It is not limited to web stuff.

I do use CVS (i lose my head otherwise).

Apache everywhere (but I don't discriminate much).

Mysql everywhere (it just happens to be everywhere).

Activeperl and indigoperl (even crazyperl, as well as FreeBSD/RedHat... blah blah, even MacPerl).

What is the best environment to develop Perl code?
San Jose, California (or good indoor heating/ac), on a comfy chair, with low lighting, in my underwear.

Every coder here uses a different edit/compile/execute cycle
Yes, perl is a freak religion

perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"

    Pretty similar here:
    1. Edit (in vi) and test on local machine, preferably with comfy chair, low light, loud music, WindowMaker, and a minimum of 4-5 Eterms (home email, office email, main vi session, secondary shell/vi session, and, if I'm working on something web-based, tail -f /var/log/apache/error.log)
    2. cvs ci
    3. ssh production-server
    4. cvs -q up
    No test environment here aside from my development machines (home, office, and laptop), but that's mostly because I'm not at a software company and trying to buy more hardware is like getting blood from a stone. Last job I had as a developer (I'm supposed to be an admin now, but I end up writing internal-use apps anyhow), I fought hard to get proper test environments and bug tracking systems in place, but it just wouldn't be worth it at my current company.
