I find EPIC to be terrific. The editor is more powerful and flexible than Komodo (for what I've used of Komodo) and also more stable and faster. The debugger seems to be almost as good as Komodo's. Integrated perltidy is very handy, the integrated percritic would be nice if I could get it to work, and I find the refactoring tools useful.	[reply]

In addition to those already mentioned, IIRC, I have used emacs's (is that proper?) debugger interface, although it was in my undergraduate days (10-15 years ago). --MidLifeXis	[reply]
