I also use UltraEdit. One feature that I think sets it apart from the rest
is that it's also a HEX editor, which when working with text, has saved my
bum several times. Not to mention it's myriads of other features and fully
customizable syntax highlighting.
Someone also mentioned making an editor in Perl using Tk or Win32::GUI. I
don't know much about Win32::GUI, but making one in Tk for windows, may not
be the best idea unless you keep it very simple. From my experience, Tk is
a huge memory hog, I've got a fairly complex Tk program that takes up at
least 13 megs of RAM to run it! That's more than any of my WinBloat
programs! :(

Subject: RE: what editor do you use?
I have been using the Win32 UltraEdit 32 for quite a while
(http://www.ultraedit.com). It has syntax highlighting and is very
customizable. It also only costs $30 and you get free upgrades.
Since joining ActiveState's ASPN Perl, I have been looking at Komodo, as
well. It is a very nice editor, but it is sort of a resource hog and
doesn't run too well on my development laptop (P150 MMX).
I've looked at the Open Perl IDE, too (check out SourceForge for that one).
It is a good, free, simple perl editor. If all you want to do is perl, I
would highly recommend it.
