Is there a Perl IDE? (Integrated Development Environment)
Tools
Please browse through faq219-2884 and faq219-2889 first. Comments on this FAQ and the General FAQ's are very welcome.
There are acouple 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/
[tab]It's free
[tab]It's excellent
[tab]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
