You need IDEs for bureaucratic languages like Java. In Perl the language itself has a lot of power built-in and allows for concise programming. Thus it reduces the need for an IDE to do the work. Did you ever need to generate getter/setter methods in Perl? Perl is highly dynamic. Autoloading, eval on Strings and difficulties with introspection should give an IDE a hard nut to crack. I never considered using Perl-IDEs for that reason. Now a newcomer asks for a lot of money for a tool that I am not convinced is useful. I couldn't help, that the negative attitude came into my mind when I read the e-mail and wrote the node. I hope that you are right, he is a smart guy and I discover that Perl-IDEs are not be such a bad thing as I initially thought. Update: And that is my new attitude now. :-)	[reply]

You didn't understand what I wrote. I didn't say a thing good or bad about perl IDEs. You were badmouthing the guy and I was calling you on that. ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply]

If I might be so bold as to ask... whether or not referring to a cow-orker as being of "the M$ Visual Studio category" is badmouthing said cow-orker would depend upon your own opinion of those who might rightfully be considered to be in that category, and/or of the tool itself, wouldn't it?	[reply]

I have been using OptiPerl from Xarka for some time. I really like the syntax highlighting and code folding, as well as the integrated Pod2Html window. I think I will probably move on to EPIC next though. My only complaint is Eclipse's project management (or lack thereof). I wish it would actually create new folders on disk, instead of just "folders" in the project. Maybe I could add the functionality as a plugin...	[reply]
