Simple text editor under Windows

[Martin Leese]

Hi,

I don't want to start a huge flame war with this question,
so please exercise restraint.
I have just started to use Perl under Windows NT.  I have
been using Wordpad to edit my perl scripts simply because it
is there (and Notepad doesn't have search and replace).  My
problem is that perl error messages say "error at line 187",
and if I try to count down that far then I get lost.
So, what is a nice simple editor that will allow me to jump
to line 187?  Note the word "simple"; if Wordpad can be made
to do this then that would be the preferred solution.  I
could use MS Word (Edit->Find->Go To->Line) but this seems
like overkill.
My background is UNIX under which I used "vi" to edit text
files.  I can probably find a port of "vi" to Windows NT,
but wondered what others use.
Many thanks for any help you can give.

Regards,
Martin

Try jEdit: http://jedit.sourceforge.net. It's free,
and open-source, as your Perl scripts should be.

If you're used to Vi, then ViM would be an excellent option
for you.  It has color syntax-highlighting, multi-windowing
and a veritable cornucopia of enhancements to the original
Vi feature-set.  It is supported on many OS's.  And it's
careware - just send what you want to the author's favorite
charity.  It is at .

Hmm... Eclipse seems to be an umbrella name for a rather large project tree.
Which specific component of Eclipse are you using--is it the Workbench? A
quick glance at the docs shows no mention of perl.

It seems to be java-centric--is Eclipse a bit overkill if you'd only be
using it for perl?

The perl plug-ins are at: http://e-p-i-c.sourceforge.net/

Like any IDE, it would be overkill for
a single script or file. If you're building modules or a larger app with
resource file it makes sense. It also appears to integrate well with CVS
(I don't use that, but it should be noted.)

Ah. Actually, that looks pretty good. I use Komodo now, and I like Komodo,
but EPIC looks like it's getting pretty close in functionality. It seems to
only lack a debugger :(  As much as I'd love to have the subroutine list
feature (and a _working_ method-assist feature), I don't think I'd want to
sacrifice the nice visual debugger. I may give it a try though. Thanks for
the info.

Well, it's not really separate. It's integrated rather nicely.

I use the Perl Dev Kit, which includes
PerlApp for executables, and the Graphical debugger. Both can be set up
and called as tools from Eclipse. If you have Komodo, do you not already
have the separate debugger?
