For the little perl editing I do, I use Eclipse with the Perl plugin (whats its name). Why? Because it is one of the few editors available for use in my employer's environment, and I like the idea of Eclipse as a very open and extendable editing and dev platform. Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the PadWalker module for decent debugging, or I haven't re-tried recently.
I know vi fairly well from way back. It has a certain elegant power. I had wanted to learn more of emacs, because I can appreciate its power, but it (or what version that is available to me) doesn't seem to play very well with Windows file system (file names with blanks and such). I gave up. Of course, using Word, a word processor, as a pure text editor is a bad match, IMHO. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-- Wayne A.
