The perldoc discusses editing on Unix as well. In particular Komodo for Linux from ActiveState who is very well respected in the Perl world. Vim runs on basically any platform and provides a number of useful tools depending on the language. Syntax highlighting as you mention is included, though not exactly as you state. It doesn't specifically check syntax, however once you get used to its coloring you will quickly be able to find syntax errors because essentially everything past the first will be the wrong color. Personally I don't believe in IDEs and have never found a use for one. Syntax can be checked at the command line with perl -c, the capabilities of Vim with split window support, code folding, file manager, etc. are plenty. The Perl debugger which is supposed to be very affective I haven't really needed either, generally print statements work fine for me. I code in an edit, suspend process, test, foreground process, edit, cycle... generally with at least 2 terminals. Sorry haven't used a VB editor. This question is asked *a lot* on this forum you should check the archives. There was also some discussion of it on the Chicago PM list recently. http://danconia.org > > > "Wiggins d Anconia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > 01/30/2004 10:32 AM > > > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > cc: > Subject: Re: perl editors > > > > > > Is there a visual perl editor out there, freeware or shareware for any > > Linux flavor? > > > > perldoc -q 'IDE or Windows Perl Editor' > > Since I use Vim the closest for me would be gvim. > > http://danconia.org > > > > -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
