in reply to Best perl editor on Ubuntu/Linux

If you want to have an IDE rather than a simple editor, think of Activestate's Komodo. It is not for free, however. I like it because it also works on Windows, so I do not have to change my habits when switching between different OS, and it is multi-language so it can also be used for other programming languages.

If you are happy with an "editor only", there is the free Komodo Edit.

Another nice alternative is Padre.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
