in reply to From Win to Lin: Perl IDE choices?

You have heard of Google right? Click the link. There are at least 4 options on the first page of listings, all either free or with free trials.

Editors and IDEs are a totally personal choice so other peoples opinions are of rather limited utility. I like vim and totally fail to understand why you would not love it too. Go on. Learn vi/vim in 50 lines and 15 minutes :-)

You can probably run Win32 Optiperl on Linux in/on/under any of Vmware, Wine or Win4Lin. See this overview.

Here is an incomplete IDE list:

    Or you can take 15m to learn X?Emacs (where "m" stands for months) and you will have an IDE for all seasons, just about all languages, all human tongues, total scriptability (Lisp underneath), macros, templates, command key assignment, split panes, that can also browse, play games, send email, and comes with more built-ins than one could ever hope to discover.

    But seriously, it's personal. Some of the best hackers I know only use vim (flame attractant: Pico users on the other hand...). I've been an editor and writer for almost 20 years though and if I can't have Nisus, Quark, or the lost but not forgotten WriteNow, I'll keep Emacs.

    Update: spelling fix.
