Perl editor
Just out of curiosity, what editor do you folks normally use when
writing perl?
What editor do you used when writing perl inside HTML in ASP-style?
Have you heard of the OptiPerl Visual IDE? I have been using it for
some time and really like it.
I don't mean to sound like I'm "plugging" OptiPerl, but I like it so
much and it saves me so much time coding that I thought I would pass on
a personal recommendation.
OptiPerl has *hands down* the best syntax-coloring I have ever seen.
Take a look at a screenshot: http://doc.e-commedia.com/optiperl_d.png
Some other features I like include:
Integrated POD-viewer
Project Manager
Code-explorer, with listings of scalars, arrays, hashes,
subroutines, packages, PODs, exported symbols, uses and requires.
Debugger
Remote debugger
Internal webserver and support for use with an external
webserver
It is also extensible in almost any way imaginable via your own perl
plugins. If you want to write a plugin with a GUI, you can use perl/Tk.
Several examples are included.
OptiPerl is a Windows program for now, but I have tried it on Linux with
CrossOver Office and it worked well. Xarka.com (the company that
created OptiPerl) has mentioned the possibility of a Linux version going
into alpha soon.
Of course, when I'm just logged in over SSH I use pico when I can (never
quite got the vi commands down).

Not to start a religious war, but I use Xemacs with Cperl mode.

I found a Cperl/HTML mode. It's not as good as I'd like, but it does the
job.
Oh, and I also use vim when I need to do a quick edit on something here and
there. :)

vim with syntax highlighting enabled.

Ditto, with these additions to my .vimrc file:
function SetupASP()
exe "set syntax=aspperl"
call SetTS(2)
endfunction
au BufEnter *.html call SetTS(2)
au BufEnter *.asp call SetupASP()
au BufEnter *.inc call SetupASP()
au BufLeave *.html call SetTS(4)
au BufLeave *.asp call SetTS(4)
au BufLeave *.inc call SetTS(4)
The tabstop changes aren't essential. I just like less indenting with
HTML, because it gets so deeply nested, especially with embedded ASP code.

But it isn't vi! It isn't an editor if it isn't vi. >:)

Hi,
i use the j-editor from Peter Graves (http://armedbear.org).
It is running under linux and windows (java) and one can switch between
different highlight modes (perl, html, java, javascript and many others).

Helmut

Its pretty, but I tried to use it on my windows machine and I couldn't get
it to look anything like that.

But it'd still be a GUI app, wouldn't it? I don't work on GUI's with code
99% of the time.

A shame, once you know them vi goes really fast.
