I recommend Eclipse with the EPIC plugin. It served me well on Windows (several flavors), Linux Redhat and more recently on my Mac. You can use it with Strawberry, Activestate etc. I use Eclipse also for other languages. The nice part is that are many plugins to integrate with other tools e.g. Subversion, Maven, Jira, Hudson to name just a few. See here for all the stuff that is available. So one integrated environment instead of having to glue the bits and pieces together.

But let me also mention some of the possible disadvantages:

It's written in Java, if you are allergic it's a no-go.
It's a big beast, i.e. not the fastest IDE in the world (some would say a resosurce hog;)

For me the advantages by far out-weight the disadvantages.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
