The Emacs perl debugger is available via the GUD, the Grand Unified Debugger and cperl-mode. It looks a little like this. -- John.	[reply]

then it is a thing that Vim can not do, but emacsers easily do; am I right? There are a lot of such things. Read more... (3 kB)	[reply]

You are behind the times. Vim has been able to embed Perl, Python and Ruby for a while. There's a Vim plugin using the Perl interpreter to turn Vim into an IRC client, f.ex. One of my pet projects uses the Perl interpreter and Gtk2 to add some minor IDE-ish features to gvim/gtk+. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]

Actually I know that vim can embed perl. More to that, I, personally, write a number of vim scripts with perl, and found this technology extremely powerfull. To say, I saw how someone implements in VIM script a bubble-sort, to save people from feeding lines to 'sort' external program (it is not always available). Needless to say, this is just one line in Perl. I do SGML stuff using Perl from inside VIM scripts, among other things. But VIM probably do not allow step-by-step debugging like Emacs, due to its intention to be compact and not part of OS. I saw somewhere that "emacs is a good OS but lacks editing capabilities"	[reply]

What makes you think you can't control external processes such as a debugger with Perl? Is it a problem sending the process commands? Maybe you don't think its output can be parsed? Or is it something else? Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply]
