Re: (OT) Wanted: Compact Perl Syntax High-lighting Editor

On the off-chance you're using Mac, I recommend BBEdit (< 34mb installed). If you're using Windows, count my vote for UltraEdit.

It's all fine and dandy until someone has to look at the code.

I'd actually recommend TextWrangler for the specific application mentioned. (TextWrangler fills the role of the what was previously BBEdit Lite) You lose the glossary/macros/clippings/whatever they want to call them this verson (you can work around this with text filters), and some of the HTML features, but it'll still do the job requested, at a much smaller size. (and, well, it's free, which is nice, too) Disclaimer: I have been a beta tester for a few BBEdit releases, but I get no compensation other than comp'd software	[reply]
