Hi ichinyo,

I've used Geany quite often recently and it's a minimalistic but still decent IDE. Since the target environment for most of my Perl scripts is the terminal instead of a GUI, I usually have a separate terminal window open which I use to run and test my scripts. But there's also the built-in terminal in Geany which works fine, if you have the vertical screen space to spare. Configure the message window to be at the bottom of the screen (Preferences), enable the message window (should be in the "View" menu), and then switch to the "Terminal" tab.

Update: I just rediscovered that Geany also knows how to run Perl scripts directly from the IDE. Just save your script, hit F5 and it should open a new terminal, run your script, and show you the script's exit code.

Hope this helps,
