Mark -
The link you sent for open-perl-ide is not a perl site at all. It redirects
you to a ridiculous site that has pop up window after pop up window. The
content didn't appear to have anything to do with programming at all...
Did you miss type the url?

I haven't ever used TextPad. But, I have used and are using; Crimson Edit
(syntax highlighting, block and bracket matching and you can tie Perl right
into it. it's free), NoteTab Light (fast, nicely customizable, not a lot of
advanced features for the free one but hey! free). Then there is Open Perl
IDE http://open-perl-ide.sorceforge.net. Win32 only I believe. Write code,
debug code, etc... (also free). Between these I can get just about anything
done. I've also used MultiEdit but that's gonna cost you 100 bucks or so.
Not bad though.
My 2 cents,
Mark Bergeron

Re: Preferred PERL Editor
Hi folks, For those looking for something powerful (emacs-style), but are intimidated by sheer size of (X)Emacs on either Windows or Linux, I wholehartedly recommend Jasspa MicroEmacs (www.jasspa.com). It's GPLed, works on both platforms, and is rather small (can be squeezed to under 1MB for those tight on HD space). As a matter of fact, you can take a look at the headers of this mail to see that I'm also using it as my e-mail editor :-) BTW, it has Perl (and other) highlighting, and is thoroughly configurable (keystokes, general appearance, etc.). Naturally, I'm using it as my Perl editor of choice on Windows :-) It's definitely worth checking out if you're still looking for that *perfect* editor :-) Regards, Denis - <-- Croatian Translation & Language Services --> * dpleicopen.hr + Denis Pleic | Phone: (+385) 42 305 751 M.

Probably faster than any of the others and on more platforms. Emacs may be more powerful, but has a longer learning curve and not the best default key bindings (although you can change that).

Vim almost always installed on *nix and easy to get for Win32 via CygWin so having "vim reflexes" at the command line is handy, but I like Xemacs's version control interfaces and its other cool programmer toys. jpt ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs

Xemacs also has other nifty features such as warning you of unmatched
heredoc, brackets and incomplete regexen.
Also you can take a document, set the perl mode to something like cperl-mode
and then meta-ctrl-q on an opening brace to format the contents of the
closure/sub/hash/etc to cperl-mode.
Lovelly, then you can center the page on your current line using
ctrl-*something* very nice.

Xemacs blinks the matching bracket when your on the other match.
