You can also get VIM (www.vim.org). That is a GREAT editor that
recognizes the syntax of MANY languages including perl. It makes it
easy to find unmatched parens, quotes, etc. It color codes EVERYTHING.
Reserved words come up in a different color (so you notice when you
type them incorrectly). All around WONDERFUL editor!
