in reply to Cross-platform development: editors

Although it might be hefty, have you looked into Eclipse and its Perl extensions? If you're looking for a full environment, it's not bad. And it supports a host a features.

Just some thoughts,

    One issue with Eclipse is that it doesn't (yet) support drag & drop of text; clipboard operations are needed instead, which is a bit clunky. Apparently it is being looked at for the next version (3.1), but time will tell.

    Having said that, I still use it for project development work due to the other handy features (such as the file history it keeps to allow change tracking for things that aren't CVSed).
