I've been using EMACS for so long that I am not comfortable when I have to use another editor. I'm always trying to use the EMACS key sequences that my fingers seem to have in their "firmware" now.

I do use VIM under certain circumstances. Most notably when I am connected via VPN to one of my servers at work and have to edit something really fast. As much as I love EMACS it takes forever for it to load its GUI over an SSL link.

You didn't mention IDE's but I'll mention anjuta here. This is a Open Source IDE that is geared towards writing GNOME applications. In spite of that predjudice it is useable for Perl editing as well though I don't see why you would use an IDE of that sort for most Perl work.
