Re: In search of a good (and free) Perl IDE for Windows

Another option to consider is Context. It's free, should do what you want by configuring hot keys, and has templates for lots of different languages, so it's not limited strictly to Perl. You can have it print text output within the program.

That said, if you're going for strictly Perl, check out DZSoft's Perl Editor. I believe it runs about $50 and it will do what you're after. Unlike Context, you can do either text or browser based output in DZSoft's editor.

Hope that helps!

There is no emoticon for what I'm feeling now.

I don't use Windows personally, but a co-worker uses DZSoft's on his machine and it does seem pretty full-featured. For VIM, you should check out the aforementioned TVSET's page and his writeup on how to get VIM configured to be a good perl ide. You can also read the Outside Links - Code Editors node for even more suggestions. ~~ naChoZ	[reply]
