I'm really not sure whether Perl will actually help you with whatever goal you're trying to reach, but you haven't stated any goal that I understand.

Padre is a good text editor for Windows with good Perl (and CPAN) integration.

I wonder what you mean by "text tables" - while Perl in itself is quite good at tabulating data, you will need to learn to write a program in Perl before it will be of any use to you.
