Perl Editor
-
I have to find a perl editor to use for the next couple of months here at work. I have grown up so to speak around Visual Studio so I would like to find something similar in features to VS. I have looked at Komodo and Visual Perl (VS.NET Plug-in), but neither seem to be sufficient. Visual Perl seems to be buggy and makes all of Visual Studio crash prone, I cannot have this. Komodo is OK, but it seems to be lacking Intellisense, or something like it, which is an absolute, must have for me since I am not very familiar with Perl. I have gotten excellent recommendations here for Java IDE's and I am hoping one of you can come to my rescue once again with your perl programming experience. Thank you for your help, Scott PS: Cost is not so much of an issue as long as there is a trial version that I could checkout before tossing down a credit card.

Just by googling, it seems that your options are pretty limited. I think your best bet is to sit down with a good introductory book[^] for a few hours and really learn the basics. After that, you will find that Komodo is a more than adequate editor.

I've had the same dilemma a couple of months ago. After trying Komodo, I just gave up and finished my project with vim.

Why bother? Once you write Perl code, you won't be able to read it anymore... ;P You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

DzSoft perl editor[^] I looked at it a couple years ago, but not lately. I use either notepad, or CoffeCup FTP's editor.
