Hello, I understand that this is completely opinion oriented but I figgured that it is better to ask. What IDE's / Coding utilities are generally preferred over others? I'm fairly new to Perl programming but with the new library of books I got I'm learning really quickly. Replies are appreciated :D -Pete (ManifestShadow)

I think you'll find that most perl programmers prefer a (smart) editor over any IDE. Which are these smart editors? Well, this is a typical flame-raising question. However I'd cite vi(m) and emacs at the same time. Personally I use jed (a lightweight emacs alternative shipping also with IDE/CUA-like keybindings, to which I'm too deeply used).
