Free Perl IDE??
 

Hi
Is there any nice FREE Perl IDE? I know of komodo but its commercial...forget it. Anyone knows a free IDE for Perl?

One more question: Are emacs/vim simply editors? Can i compile my code with it or do i have to run to the terminal?

Thanks

Newbie

Try quanta, from kdewebdev package
Good for html, xml, php and perl

I know Minimum Profit text editor supports Perl syntax highlighting...

You can compile code with Emacs, I am not so sure about VIM coz I only use its basic text editing features.

you can compile code from vim if you have a make file in the directory.

:make

runs the makefile. i like it because if there are any errors, vim jumps the the error and lists it at the bottom.

the commands

:cc

tells you what the current error from the make was, and

:cnext

takes you to the next error.

I think eclipse has a Perl editor plug-in.

jEdit is nice (if you install a number of plug-ins, it is pretty close to being an IDE).

Does Kdevelop come close to a Perl IDE??

Thanks

Komodo is decent, if a little buggy. And if you keep downloading trial licenses every 21 days...

Not that I'm condoning this practice...

What's wrong with vim? It also good one IMPO

So, coolblue,
have you got your favourite IDE for Perl? I saw your post here and I am now at the place where you were about a year ago :)Can you suggest anything special?
Thanks..
