I use CRiSP, this is a commercial tool and in use is very wide in its
breadth of capability (far more than I am utilising day to day perl
developing)

It supports projects, sub tag databases (very handy for jumping straight
to that function hidden in a library somewhere else..), multiple
language code syntax highlighting, regexps, macros, multiple
monitor/code window (even have the same file open in two separate
windows) and much much more besides. 

A trial is available for download at : http://www.crisp.demon.co.uk/ 

Would suggest downloading one of the 9.2 rather than 9.3 releases as I
was told that you actually have to "apply" for an evaluation on 9.3
rather than getting a "free" 21 day do what you like pass on 9.2.

I find that from a programming perspective it hits a reasonably happy
medium between command line and GUI driven tools but I think that any
tool like this is incredibly personal and requires a great deal of
sticking at before it becomes truly useful (and non destructive -
although a very good level of undo/redo is available, even supporting
beyond save points without issue)
