I'm using nedit (http://www.nedit.org) as my standard editor since 1997 at least. However I didn't expanded it much (using macros, etc) until recently. here's what I've done :

I've written a "calltips" file that provides help on perl internal functions. (you'll find it here : Nedit perl calltips and on ftp.nedit.org)
I've written a couple of macros to generate ctags file, that can be used to provide contextual help to current files functions in the same way the calltips do.
I've modified an existing macro to provide autocompletion to perl internals and current file stuff (no parameters completion for now though)
I've written some other macros to compile the scripts, run them, etc.
I've also written a macro to use Devel::Refactor with a single keypress, just like in Eclipse.

Well that's all for now, I don't really feel the need for any other tool right now, I'll try to get paramater completion if possible when I have some spare time...

In case anyone's inteested in the nedit stuff, here's the "refactor" macro and script:

$code = get_selection()

if ( $code != "" ) {
    $subname = string_dialog( "New sub name:", "OK" )
    
    # fichier temporaire
    $processnum = shell_command("echo $$", "")
    $processnum = replace_in_string($processnum, "\n", "")
    $tmpfile = "/tmp/nedit" $processnum
    
    write_file( $code, $tmpfile )
    
    $codestring = "/home/emmanuel/bin/refactor.pl " $subname " " $tmpf
+ile
    
    if ( $subname != "" ) {
        $subgen = shell_command( $codestring, "" )  
        if ( $subgen != "" ) {
            replace_selection( $subgen )  
        }
    }
    # delete temp file
    shell_command( "rm " $tmpfile, "")
}

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.
