Hi Folks,

While I realize there likely will never be a Perl interpreter for PalmOS (though I'd love that, especially with a Tcl/Tk-style for Palm graphical display), I would still like to do some scripting on my Visor. Does anyone know of a half-decent editor?

Ideally, it would have these features:

• Perl dictionary syntax checking
• Bracket/brace checking
• Error reporting (ie. Missing semicolor: line 14)
• Line number display
• Cut/Copy/Paste
• A stylus-based graphical keyboard layout with the most common symbols & punctuation available without shifting
• "Save As"

I've looked all over the place and haven't found anything which comes anywhere near what I want ('pedit' is closest, but still a long ways away).

Thanks!
