I've been using Eclipse with Mason files for a couple of years. I've 
been happier with Eclipse than with other editting tools I've used, i.e. 
Dreamweaver (way back), Komodo (from ActiveState), vi, or emacs.

I like the highlighting and syntax checking as well as the project and 
svn capability.

Eclipse/EPIC do well when dealing with perl programs and modules, not as 
well with Mason components because it views the Mason calls and HTML as 
invalid perl. Set up Eclipse to recognize your Mason components as perl 
files; at least you'll get the coloring. Eclipse has pushed me to do 
more in modules and less in Mason components in fact, which, I 
understand is better style.

Someone on the mod_perl list just asked about debugging mod_perl in Eclispe.

What other tools do folks use?

Take care,
