in thread What's the best Perl IDE?

I wish vi fanbois and emacs die-hards stopped recommending them as Perl IDEs. They are editors, as much as you love them. They don't have debuggers, stack tracers, variable watching, breakpoints, regexp builders, or anything that makes up a real Perl IDE.

That said, Perl IDEs are listed at perlide.org.

There are two serious paid Perl IDEs:

The two serious free Perl IDEs are Padre and Eclipse + the EPIC plugin.

I compared Komodo vs. Eclipse and stuck with Komodo because of its remote debugging capabilities.

Padre is still immature but the good part is that you can improve it, since it's written in Perl, unlike EPIC (written in Java).

    Can't talk about vi but for emacs thats just FUD.

    Could you please at least try googling before making such bold statements?

    BTW: The Regex-tool in Komodo is Python based, with all incompabilities.
