As one who is new to Perl, I have yet to figure out just what is a necessary tool. I'm finding out that I really don't need everything I've been using.
I was using kdevelop, which is a handy way to keep stuff in projects. I found out by accident that all I really need is kate, which allows me to edit, and then pop down to use the terminal emulator for running the program. Sweet.
Perl just doesn't need anything fancy. I don't need an IDE. Every day, Perl gives me some new surprise - making it much easier for me to get something written quickly. Kind of makes me feel like a kid at Christmas time.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
