in reply to Editor / IDE Consolidation
I began Perl programming under Windows and quickly became enamored with UltraEdit. It is still my preferred Perl editor for Windows. But when I migrated to Linux, the choices included in the Red Hat distribution were pretty grim. Casting a wider net, I discovered Glimmer. It doesn't quite rise to UltraEdit's exalted level, but it comes pretty close. I recommend it for inclusion in your list!
