Gabor and Roey, According to your answers I understand that the "best" one is Komodo. If I want a free one - I have more candidates. Am I right ?

When I asked what is your favorite IDE/Editor for Perl I got tons of responses. Here are the results of the stats: http://perlide.org/poll200911/ The situations is that many people use vim/emacs or some programmers editor on windows such as notepad++. None of these have a debugger in it. Some people use perl -d for debugging, others use Devel::ptkdb which is actually quite nice. Then there is Eclipse+EPIC which is an IDE and it has debugger for Perl and if that is your requirement then this is the most advanced thing you can get. The problems with it is that the development of EPIC is stalled and if you would like to contribute you need to do that in Java. Komodo of ActiveState also has those features but it costs money (the free version does not have the debugger). And then there is Padre. It still does not have a working debugger in it, so it might not fit your requirements yet but it is developing nicely and has several good features the other two IDEs don't have. It is written in Perl, so you can easily contribute to it and maybe even add the debugger. http://padre.perlide.org/ Of course I am slightly biased ;-) Gabor http://szabgab.com/ _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
