Are there any good PERL Editors that will display all the subs in an opened file the way that Visual Studio shows all the functions or subs in a drop down combo box? Or at least one that shows which sub you are in when your editing somewhere in the middle?

Thanks,

EditPlus will give you a clickable subroutine list, but doesn't tell you where you're at while you're editing. You could try Komodo at ActiveState.com, but it's NOT cheap! Tracy Dryden

Actually.... I found something much better and for free! I just happened to click at the bottom of this thread on the FAQ for this forum and found a link to Open Perl IDE.

Man this thing is awesome, and evidently the best kept secret in the world of PERL. Being a Visual C++ programmer by trade, I'm finding this editor to be a very familiar environment. Its very similar to Visual Studio, break points and all. Man , where has this been all my life.
I think I'm going to marry it.

 
Thanks, I think I'll check out the Open Perl IDE. I'm not big on "evaluation copies", so I may pass on optiperl unless I just can't stand the other. Tracy Dryden
