I've got no answer to the actual question, an IDE for Linux.

I'm using WinXP with ActiveState Perl 5.8.0 build 806. And I had to choose between several editors. I didn't like vi or emacs or the several incarnations thereof. I've used Perl Scripting Tool, AnyEdit, DZsoft, Perl Oasis and UltraEdit. None of them felt right.

Now I am using Crimson Editor, which is freeware, and has several nifty treats. I like it, it looks good, it is fast, helpful, and I don't have to do silly things like save, ftp, open another window to execute the script, etc. Just one-click-while-editing... (create your own macros).

By the way, Crimson has syntax files for a lot of programming languages and other types of apps where scripts are used, e.g. MySQL and Apache.

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.
