Just from the web site: the images contain overly hinted text, and look fuzzy. Not all images are properly resized. You mention that it does not conflict with "IIS". Does that mean it does conflict with Apache? You fail to mention that it's for win32. Your "PM viewer" appears to be for viewing POD; that's not what the name would indicate (and is a more "advanced" feature -- of course it can view .pm files, it wouldn't be much use if it couldn't). You should fix the "perl path" variable to be saved with the other user settings, instead of documenting it as a FAQ. This will hit lots of users, and make you look unprofessional. You do not document minimum system requirements anywhere. Warning: Unless otherwise stated, code is untested. Do not use without understanding. Code is posted in the hopes it is useful, but without warranty. All copyrights are relinquished into the public domain unless otherwise stated. I am not an angel. I am capable of error, and err on a fairly regular basis. If I made a mistake, please let me know (such as by replying to this node).	[reply]

Win2K as OS. Not that I actually ever use them in practice but the insert widget features don't work. If you insert an HTML element into a script it basically hangs the system and you can't edit. Similarly testing the templates the Apply button fails to do anything, I expected it to insert at cursor pos. When I ran a script ZoneAlarm wanted to know about the server that started. When I let it start it ran the app in a DOS window BUT the DOS window was kinda hung at the end - the X failed to X it bit it did respond to Right Click close from the status bar. Your inserted CGI parser is far from state of the art and there was no CGI option. Back to Vim it is.... cheers tachyon	[reply]

I expected the pod reader to show the currently loaded files pod. Instead it heads off to the perl documentation wich is usefull to.. Maybe there is something that does what i'm looking for too. BTW there are alot of buttons on that tool bar. A whole lot too many. Took me forever just to run my script, and then it require you save once before running. Last thing for now... i just got an error thats not in english. "Datei perlocal kann nicht ge?ffnet werden." Maybe that means something to you but its greek to me. Nice looking program with lots of features, i'm still digging threw them all :) ___________ Eric Hodges	[reply]

"An error not in english" - this verson is created with a german compiler, and I'll replace all german messages with english equivalent by hand in final release. Currently, this message means "File perllocal cannot be opened". That is not a bug.	[reply]

Not too horrible, though changing the 'local server' port to 8080 and then launching a script still attempts to load at port 80. The program doesn't insert the port number into the URI. I love the vertical line drawn at column 80, gives a nice visual for when you should start wrapping your lines (though technically speaking, the row/column positioning in the left hand corner is enough to get by). All I'll say is that at this point I wouldn't pay money for this tool as it doesn't offer anything more that the free tools already do.	[reply]

Thank you for your bug report. A new bug was added after migration of the webserver to a separate application. Fixed.	[reply]

Just a comment on the website, but in the "User Interface" section, what do the exclamation point and the x mean in the second column? Edit: For that matter, the "Web Related", "More" and "Debugging" sections as well. My code doesn't have bugs, it just develops random features. Flame	[reply]
