in reply to Perl Development Environment - Revisited

Hi mercutio_viz

"I did a PM search on subjects like 'text editor', 'development environment', etc. I noticed that there was a flurry of active discussions that all but stopped around 2001/2002."

Not long ago (last week), there was a thread on IDE's for Perl ;-)

"I would like to know what the Perl community is using now. Are you still using emacs and/or vim? Is there another secret weapon out there?"

I am using Kate. It works for me :-)

Cheers,

    Thanks for that link. I totally missed that one. I did search for 'IDE' but I got so many non-related results that I went with the more specific searches that I previously mentioned...

      You also missed Perl IDE, Perl IDE and PERL IDE (although the last two are from 2003).

      The search is problematic however. With partial word matching IDE matches insIDE and condIDEr for example. Partial regex matching in Super Search would be nice, but it can be a pretty heavy hit on the server!

        Including spaces in the string to be found, i.e. " ide " and using anything that is not a space to separate strings would yield a search that wouldn't be perfect either, since for example it would miss "any IDE?", but would certainly come closer.

        Which is why I didn't bother with the hundreds of hits when I searched on "IDE"! :)
