There is a project (called Perlmacs) to make add support for Perl embedded in Emacs.
You can find details about it here.
When I first heard about it, I thought it was the Holy Grail I have been searching for, but... like Emacs, as much as I love the extensibility, it just seems clunky and resistant to use.
I'm still looking for a 'really good editor'.

It will hopefully be extensible... right now
:s/foo/bar/g
is implemented internally using eval(). There is also a way
to specify perl code from command line, i.e.:
:.,+10 {$_=reverse}
to reverse 11 lines.
This project of mine is far from complete, and the code is
messy and unoptimized. However I hope that it will be a
good learning experience (it already has), and maybe in a
couple of weeks I will use
vip to
develop vip. :)
Next big things on my list are recovery and a cache to
optimize the linked list access (right now it is pretty
slow, look for /_get_reference_to_number/ in v_list.

When I was looking through the code, I found myself wondering why you had
used linked lists at all, instead of Perl arrays. Wouldn't
that have been faster and simpler?

Good point.
However, I think that when the cache is implemented, and
I type '250dd' in the middle of a 3000-line file, linked
list will not be much slower than splice(), or maybe even
faster (or maybe I am just fooling myself).
I think the implementation is such because back when I was
contemplating this program, back in July, I was convinced
by some people and some programming literature that all
editors are written using linked lists. I did not want to
swim against the stream. We'll see how it pans out, I
guess, I can always rewrite v_list using arrays.
Thank God for OO! :)

Having trouble getting the dimitri's web site. Anybody know where I could get a copy of vip, his VI editor written in perl. Thanks. I have been working on one using Perl/Tk to insert in some perl programs I have that need an editor.
Has any one ever tried using Vim form perl. I have used the Win32::OLE to interface. vim has a VisVim.dll for use with Visual Studio. I'm not a C programmer, so I havent tried to get Perl to call VisVim. Anybody got any ideas?
Thanks Mike W.
