Is there a Perl IDE? (Integrated Development Environment) by MikeLacey
faq219-954
Posted: 1 Aug 01 (Edited 6 Feb 07)

Please browse through FAQ219-2884 and FAQ219-2889 first. Comments on this FAQ and the General FAQ's are very welcome.

There are a couple loads actually.

Activestate at www.activestate.com have one which I'm sure, like all of their products, is a fine piece of s/w.

I'm using Open Perl IDE and this can be found at http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net/

    It's free
    It's excellent
    It doesn't get *half* the attention it deserves

You can download it for WinXX from the above URL and there's a (very quiet, at the moment) mailing list for support questions as well. You can subscribe to it at:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/open-perl-ide-user

Oh - and a colleague and I are currently trying to write an IDE that will run and debug scripts on a web server. If we ever get it past the "crashing horribly" phase I'll post the URL here smile

From the Activestate website
