in reply to Features missing in perl IDEs?

While I also use text editor with only sytax highlithing for Perl - I used Visual Studio on university for VB, C++ and now C#.

The things that I like about it are :
- intelisence or however you call it; the possibility that it shows you methods of some object after you enter -> would be nice

- the step by step debuger (maybe komodo has it ?)

Of course there is one thing wich realy makes me crazy about MS VS editor. I'm used to typing
if(expression) { }
And it keeps "rearaiging" that to
if(expression) { }

    I use Nedit, with a perl calltips file I wrote (see it at Nedit perl calltips) and an autocompletion macro. Together, they provide autocompletion and contextual help for all standard perl functions.
    I sometimes use ctags too, so I have the same functionalities for all libraries I may use. The only thing I haven't got is the step-by-step debugger, but I really never actually feel the need for it.
