I tried 0.04 last time there was an announcement (not long ago) and it really, really sucked. I use Komodo from ActiveState now, on both Windows and Linux. It has Syntax Checking, coloring and lots of other great stuff, it works beautifully, is based on Mozilla and generally kicks *ss. :)

Moreover, it supports lots of other languages natively, and yet more with highlighting etc. Give it a test spin, you'll see what I mean. First time I ever liked an IDE over my normal text editors, no matter how many I've tried... :)

I think it is only about $30, too.

• 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.
