EditPlus does most of what you want - http://www.editplus.com/.

I've been using it to create Perl, XML, HTML, SQL and Javascript files for a number of years now. You can set the User Tools to run a Perl script and capture the output within EditPlus (handy for cut 'n' paste jobs) or automatically run in a command line window. The only thing it doesn't do that you wanted, is to tell you what you did wrong via a syntax checker, although the syntax highlighting can help you out.

It isn't free, but at $30 it's a reasonable price.
