in reply to (OT) Wanted: Compact Perl Syntax High-lighting Editor
My favourite editor is nedit and it does syntax highlighting for lots of languages. It exists mainly in the *nix world but I believe you can run it on Win32 via Cygwin. nedit is pretty small but I don't know how much or little of Cygwin you would need as well.
Cheers,
JohnGG
