Unless you plan to start developing in perl, there is no reason to install Activestate perl. You will not notice any difference/improvement by installing it. Activestate also supply the perl binaries and modules for free on their site which is enough to begin developing using Notepad as an editor. It's do-able but not very user friendly. The "professional" development tools are more expensive.
There is only one editor and its name is http://www.vim.org :) Vi and the taglist plugin are all I use to write Perl, though the Active State Perl Developer's Kit is quite handy (provides tools to compile your scripts into .exe apps and services). I did try Komodo for a couple of days a few years ago, but it was terribly slow at the time. -- "I spent all me tin with the ladies drinking gin, So across the Western ocean I must wander" -- traditional _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
