in reply to What are the criterias of a "good" Perl IDE?

I'm not sure if this is included in 'Flymake', but I REALLY appreciate being able to execute my scripts from within Geany, and then once I've seen the result, close the terminal window. I know you can do this in Vim, but Geany has this beautiful documents sidebar...

If I was able to controll the input from within the editor (similar to http://ideone.com, I would consider that an IDE feature

    Yes this was (meant to be) included in Turnaround / Jump to Error

    I configured F5 in emacs to run the code, open a frame with the output and jumping to errors.

    Thats basic, every IDE should provide this.

    Geany is really neat, I think you generally mean a multiframe layout with specialized help windows like in ECB

    good IDE's allow multiple frames/windows and actions can be scripted, like saving a textbuffer automatically and feeding it as STDIN into a program.

    I'm not sure about the easiest way to do this in Emacs or Komodo¹, but I never really needed this on the editor level.

    Either it belongs to testing or it's handled with reading from <DATA>, both things happening on the Perl level.

    update

    ¹) see also http://docs.activestate.comkomodo4.4/run.html#run_advanced

    in emacs I'd define a macro recording keystrokes to saves the script buffer and runs command with another text-buffer as input. These macro can be saved to file and bound to a key.

    Having a code-wizard (like Komodo does) is for sure helpful.
