I also really like Perl Builder, from Solutionsoft. It's probably the only
decent Perl-specific editor available AFAIK. I don't really find syntax
highlighting all that useful, but its "subroutine navigator" is SO helpful.
Just put your cursor over any subroutine call, press Ctrl-D, and the cursor
takes you to the actual subroutine. It also works in reverse as well.
Incredibly timesaving feature, that I've never seen in any other editor
(except for DZsoft's perl editor, whose subroutine navigator only /barely/
works, if at all...though I like the "tree" view of subroutines it has. In
Perl Builder, you have to call up a seperate popup window to get a list of
subroutines)
Aloha,
