Re: the best perl editor/ide on win32?

[alftheo]

I use emacs:

• syntax highlighting
• autoindent according to syntax
• integrated debugger
• Shell window to run scripts in
• if you don't want to, you *never* have to use the mouse
• cross-platform
• support for almost all languages
• free

I know it's a bit of a pain to learn the keys, but I think its worth it.

Activestate is also working for a MS Development Studio plug-in, which will let you go the whole windows hog.

And finally, a number of people here use Visual SlickEdit, which is very nice.
