There are some payed editors that are great to use. Look at those too!

I like no startup time to start typing, hence I use small editors, like Mousepad
It has syntax highlighting, a feature I am accustomed to.
(on the image there is a OpenPandora, it runs perl just fine, version 5.8.8 by default, or 5.17.6 if you open the toolchain).
