Eclipse,vi, gvim etc... Are all plausible for usage, I use vi/gvim but that's only because its what I was taught to use. You use whatever your comfortable with in the end. IDEs help with faster code generation and also help with the standardisation of code, on a large projects they are also very good for change control with the plug ins to subversion and cvs. The plug in for eclipse also makes debugging easier for people who aren't familiar with the perl debugger. Whets best is personal preference in the end.

Sorry, Perl is old school. The favourite IDE of most Perl programmers is (g)vi(m) or emacs. Basically, you use an text editor to create and modify your program; then you run it. Even programs with many modules are easy to keep track of because there are no header files, no make files, and no linkage. Well, OK, there are linkages but they're maintained within the Perl program (or its modules). The best IDE for you is your favourite text editor. -- Just my 0.00000002 million dollars worth, Shawn "For the things we have to learn before we can do them, we learn by doing them."
