That would be Vim. great combination with Makefile like this:

   all: 
     perl -c script.pl

That way when I type :make, and there are errors, vim gets me to the line they are in.

Emacs/Xemacs (Here goes your beloved 'X') seems to be better and needs no ugly hacks like the one above, but it's whole OS, and heavyweight at that, so I got a bit tired with waiting 5-55 seconds for my friggin' editor to fire-up.
