Use a real OS :-) On Win2K this is pretty cool actually. I did make it go pear shaped on a SOAP program, but then SOAP::Lite is a bit scary, and there was lots of networky stuff going on. OK, so it struggled with some LWP stuff too. On less advanced scripts it worked a treat. Can't beat the old 'hover over a variable and see its value' thing. I did find that occasionally the perl debug server process that the IDE talks to would get in a tizzy and have to be manually killed, but generally it was pretty good. Shame that it does die on some of the trickier stuff, but ultimately I'd say this had a future. On the subject of Win32 tools, does anyone know of a win32 perl profiler front end? I actually think the standard profiler is comparatively easy to use, but profiling code is IMHO a much under-used tool for improving programs, and anything that encourages it would be welcome. Oh, and if anyone knows of a free Java profiler, let me know -- Jonathan Peterson Technical Manager, Unified Ltd, +44 (0)20 7383 6092 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It also seems to have caused one of the most appaling domino-like crash of my win98 system I've seen in ages. Just as a data point. :-) dha -- David H.

Perl IDE for Win32
Ok, first off lets just dispense with any thoughts of following this with a discussion about how emacs rules and foo sucks. However, for any Win32 using brethren we have they might like to have a look at this http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net it appears to be a Win32 based Perl IDE that is reminiscent of Visual Studio. I don't currently have a Windows box so I can't say anything more but I'd be interested in peoples opinions after trying it out.

There is also http://www.activestate.com/Products/Komodo/ which impressed me when I had a look a few months back.
