I second that - Utraedit rocks and I am constantly impressed when I find some new little thing that makes my programming code/viewing files/etc with it that much nicer/easier/more robust. This is not a 'visual' solution- however with the ability to customize, configure, automate, organize, and build tools and extensions - it is definitely an editor you should have for writing perl (and many other languages) code. Very large BANG for not a lot of BUCKS. It has a lot of features and is still a very lightweight solution - you can plop it down on a customer site with the eval version very quickly and easily when you need to go on site and do some quick coding or similar. Also - something other solutions still do not have - the ability to edit code across FTP connections allows me to leave all code onsite at customers that I can connect to using FTP - this is a tremendous advantage!
Also!!! -- a really nice built in file comparison tool that I constantly find new uses for. Also!!!! -- built in file system conversion when switching between systems (DOS,MAC,UNIX) I could go on and on - you get the idea... If you still want a 'visual' IDE for perl at least use this as your fall back for everthing else including as a Notepad replacement. I should be getting a nickel for every person I recommend this to ... They always end up loving it!

I've finally committed myself to learn Perl. Is there a mature integrated development environment available? If not, what are the recommendations for Windows otherwise?
