Perl Editor

tenor_david · September 29th, 2002, 04:55 PM

Anyone using a Perl editor to code? I am just starting to learn Perl, and am already tired of coding in the Pico editor in Unix.

Would like to hear opinions on perl editors.

Thanks!

Try emacs, its got a better editor for coding. It does parens matching and auto indenting.
Although I'm sure there's a better IDE for it than that

I was thinking more along the lines of a Windows Perl editor. Mainly for the color coding aspects.

I will look at emacs too, as I have not really ever looked at that editor. Thanks!

I use vim under windows & unix. Gvim provides a gui with syntax highlighting & a load of other handy tools.

Vim is available as a Win32 binary with gui support as standard
