I'm one of those TextPad users. I find it works well for Perl, PHP, and Java (sorry, Forte is bloated) in the Windows environment. It's not a full blown IDE, but it works well enough for me. On the *nix side, I learned vi first, and no one has ever converted me away from it, though a friend of mine who is a die-hard emacs guy has tried.

PFE32 is a reasonable programming editor, with line numbering and the ability to execute the edited script. It's not Perl-specific (no syntax highlighting). It's also no longer under development, but it's still available via WinSite. See http://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/. Free. OpenPerl IDE has line numbering, syntax highlighting, execution, and debugging. See http://sourceforge.net/projects/open-perl-ide/. Free. Crimson Editor. line numbering and syntax highlighing.
