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.
