Vim and Emacs both do a lot more than editing and color highlighting. They can do syntax checking, RE searching/replacing, etc. You can run commands from inside the editor and include the output in your script, etc. I use Gvim which is a Win32 version of Vim with a GUI interface. I think they have a similar GUI version for X-windows and possibly others. Their forte is editing and I doubt there's a freeware/open source IDE than can match them, but I'm sure someone will respond if they think so. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
