IDE for Perl CGI?

jfroebe has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

Does anyone know of an IDE that can help build web pages that use perl? (Pick your favorite perl template modules or barebones CGI/mod_perl)

I ask because I've been seduced by ASP.NET and Visual Studio for building dynamic web pages.

UPDATE: Actually I meant a graphical IDE.. commercial or free (i.e. Dreamweaver works with ASP but not Perl)

I came across a product called cgi scripter once that does some auto-code generation. I tend to use johnnywang 's method myself, so I've never actually tried it.	[reply]

about the cgiscripter demo... taking a closer look shows that CGIScripter doesn't do the GUI part of a web page only the 'functional backend' part. For those people that don't know much about cgi & perl, then this would be a boon, but unfortunately, I'm looking for the gui front end part. I'm thinking that I'll end up using Dreamweaver or even FrontPage with embedded perl. Not a big deal but I wish there was a integrated solution... hmm Jason L.

You might want to look at OptiPerl. I haven't used it much, but it looks like a decent IDE and it has some support for developing CGIs.	[reply]
