Though I didn't see any mention of monetary investment, I have been using Visual SlickEdit, which has a free trial.
I have also used SciTE, which is pretty nice, and the price is right.
The thing I liked about each of these is the ability to expand the environment to suit my needs.
Forgot about this guy: Outside Links-Code Editors
Just my $0.02
update: formatting and more thoughts
update #2: added link to PM OUTSIDE LINKS | [reply] |

I like using JEdit with plugins. It has PerlBrowse and PerlSideKick plugins, as well as PHP, Python and of course Java support.
You customize JEdit through plugins. The plugins themself are easily configured.
It also has project, cvs and FTP save-as. I have been using it for several years and like it because it doesn't come bloated with a million features you'll never use, you add them as plugins as you need them.

I've been using DzSoft's Perl Editor for several years and have gotten all the major updates without having to pay an upgrade fee. It will do syntax checking and all the good stuff, plus it will run command line for you by just pressing a button.
It's great and really helped me out when I started Perl! | [reply] |

Not entirely duplicated (so far): Editor including windows eds, from July 04
and, (favoring what the writer currently uses when dealing with M$) EngineSite IDE, Open Perl IDE (Sourceforge) and NoteTab Pro | [reply] |

Yes, I am aware of that, thank you. I have read most of those threads and tried many of those IDEs. Unfortunately, on-the-fly syntax error checking is something I've had trouble finding. I assumed it would be ok to ask, although I predicted responses like this. It appears for the most part I recieved helpful feedback, and I appreciate it. If you must know, I rarely ask a question. I spend days on google before I even think of asking.
Cheers,

The company I'm working for equipped me with OptiPerl. Unfortunately it's a commercial product, but it does on-the-fly syntax checking, syntax coloring and it even has a built-in run-time environment for cgi-scripts, including debugging capabilities. | [reply] |

OptiPerl is great! It has all the specific features I was looking for. I will definitely be purchasing this. Thank you for your help.

Back in the time I worked on windows, I tried a lot of editors (from GVIM to Xemacs to Context to SCiTE) and found that the best perl IDE is Open Perl IDE:
http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net/
It's really very good, well integrated to windows and to perl, with inline help, coloration, completion, debugging, etc.

Komodo is nice, and Eclipse with the Perl plugin looks good as well.
On Windows only, Textpad with a syntax definition file is fine for me.
