RE: Perl editors
As we're all having a ball with our own editors, I'll throw in mine: UltraEdit (www.ultraedit.com). Very powerful editor. And with a bit of plugging and macro-ing, it will do anything a IDE could do for you. Supports heaps of languages. -Original Message- From: Beckett Richard-qswi266 [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 September 2003 10:16 To: 'Lee Goddard' Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Perl editors What's the best text editor for perl?

RE: Perl editors
I guess I'm old then, because I've actually done that. On my first co-op I used an ancient HP 2100 mini computer (with 8K 16 bit words) of *core* memory (that was when memory was really memory - it didn't go away when you turned the machine off). That machine didn't have any sort of boot rom built in. You had to toggle in a bootstrap on the front panel. There was a switch on the front that would write protect the upper 200 words or so where the bootstrap lived, but if your application needed ALL the machine's memory, you flipped the switch off, and resigned yourself to toggling the boot loader on the next reload. Then I graduated to HP 1000 computers which still had the good old front panel, you just seldom ever used it. It was handy for debugging device drivers, I stepped through many via the front panel. As far as I know, the 1000 EF series was the last mini produced with actual switches and lights. I've got the front panel from one in my closet at home. Sometimes, looking at that front panel, I start thinking about the good old days, then I thank God for things like gigahertz CPUs, virtual memory and perl! -Original Message- From: Cameron Dorey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, September 22, 2003 4:41 PM Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Perl editors REAL (old) men use the toggle switches on the front of the box!

RE: Perl editors
What's the best text editor for perl? what's your favourite editor for anything? use that. I find that anything that properly supports regular expression matching / replacing / etc. is good. on solaris/linux I tend to use nedit, on windoesnt either komodo (see below) or PFE. if on the other hand you want something more IDE-ish, activestate's komodo has a number of great features, to the point where I use it for almost all programming now. its not the fastest thing ever as the syntax checking and highlighting mean its always running interpreters in the background on weird ports, it seems to be based on mozilla, but it Works. Multilanguage support inside single projects, and good debug features as well as supporting widgets like a snippets place for routines, text, code, whatever... all make a real impact on development time for any given project. ed c ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
