(Apologies if this is way OT, but the need is Perl related)

I'm looking to extend the nuggets described at Devel::STrace... to a full attachable debugger, with the focus on a web based interface (ala Devel::ebug::HTTP, but with a cleaner interface and lower module count). Most of the required widgets are readily available, but I can't seem to locate a decent source code editor widget with a vertical ruler, and was hoping one of the web gurus in the monastery might know if/where one can be got ? I've checked the usual suspects (Rico, Dojo, Prototype, Script.aculo.us, qooxdoo, JSAN, etc.), but only turned up Helene, which seems a good start, but relies on some <ol> tricks that might not be safe for some browsers (and seems a bit finicky in FF1.5). (Venkman seems to use the same trick as Helene, but I haven't been able to sort out which bit of code it uses for the source editor)

NOTE: I'm not looking for a WYSIWYG web page editor, but a source code editor, with line numbers and support for small icons in the vertical ruler, and maybe syntax highlighting.

Any pointers much appreciated...
