I have done some projects with

Eclipse, JBuilder (Java)

Visual Studio (C#)

Visual Basic

They are all terribly nice, powerful and essential for their supported languages. I agree that it makes
sense to switch to an IDE for DBI and other swiss army knife modules.
I mainly use Perl for short scripts, that require/use modules, that I know good enough.
There I would soon be annoyed of all the clicking together of commandline arguments.
I was just curious how far IDE-development with perl has gone and under which circumstances one should dump vim+bash.
