Just out of curiosity, what editor do you folks normally use when writing perl?
What editor do you used when writing perl inside HTML in ASP-style? Have you heard of the OptiPerl Visual IDE? I have been using it for some time and really like it. I don't mean to sound like I'm "plugging" OptiPerl, but I like it so much and it saves me so much time coding that I thought I would pass on a personal recommendation. OptiPerl has *hands down* the best syntax-coloring I have ever seen. Take a look at a screenshot: http://doc.e-commedia.com/optiperl_d.png Some other features I like include: Integrated POD-viewer Project Manager Code-explorer, with listings of scalars, arrays, hashes, subroutines, packages, PODs, exported symbols, uses and requires. Debugger Remote debugger Internal webserver and support for use with an external webserver It is also extensible in almost any way imaginable via your own perl plugins. If you want to write a plugin with a GUI, you can use perl/Tk. Several examples are included. OptiPerl is a Windows program for now, but I have tried it on Linux with CrossOver Office and it worked well. Xarka.com (the company that created OptiPerl) has mentioned the possibility of a Linux version going into alpha soon. Of course, when I'm just logged in over SSH I use pico when I can (never quite got the vi commands down). _______________________________________________________________ John Drago | Chief Architect of Software Development E-com Media Group, Inc.
