> What editor do you use for Perl (or any) programming? > > 1. vi (or variants) Too unintuitive but always available. I don't consider that a good reason to become an expert or re-wire my brain to properly use it.
> 2. Emacs (or variants) My default UNIX editor. Only a few critical commands are obscure. The rest are as expected. Has syntax hilighting and indentation help, but these don't always work consistently and can be difficult to install without root. > 3. Eclipse Offers live code analysis (tells me when I miss a semi-colon, etc.) Sometimes a little slow on large code bases. Also offers remote editing via FTP plugin. It's pretty much a java app, so it's a little slow and awkward sometimes. > 4. Komodo Many of the features I like are available here, but I find Komodo slow to come up and somewhat buggy. Not to mention the expen$ive price for the app. 1 thing I've never found a replacement for in Komodo is it's regex debugger tool. Makes complex regex analysis much easier. > 5. Visual Studio Not Perl friendly to my knowledge. > 6. Notepad Stop talkin crazy. *grin* > 7. TextMate No. 8. Crimson Editor Free. Fast (windows native exe). Easy to use. Allows remote editing (via FTP). Syntax hilighting. Easy to get on a PC in a pinch. 9. Notetab Freebie windows app. Has some neat search and replace (via regex) features I find indispensable sometimes. Often I can do data translation faster in it than cranking out code. _______________________________________________ Houston mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/houston Website: http://houston.pm.org/
