No, vim! :) Seriously, all I ever used when learning (and all I ever use
now) is vim. Once you've learnt some of the basics you'll love it -
coupled with macros and perldoc and you're laughing. I generally use the
following handy macros (in my ~/.vimrc);

autocmd bufenter *.p[ml] :compiler perl
autocmd bufenter *.p[ml] map <f2> :w<CR>:make<CR>
autocmd bufenter *.p[ml] map <f3> :w<CR>:!perl -w -T %<CR>

So that when editing a .pm or .pl you can use f2 to run the script and
f3 to check it's syntax and believe me, that's a very simple example of
stuff you can do :D

Google is generally a good resource for vim usage, but `man perlfunc` or
perldoc are handy for PERL stuff.
