Anyone have a site that has reviews of Perl IDEs? Maybe we should
make a list and put it in a FAQ if one does not exist.
I have used...
Perl Builder 2.0 - http://www.solutionsoft.com/pbeval.htm
- Does not handle <<EOF quoting at all.
- Incorrectly handles multi line qq{} and "" quoting.
+ Features for working with CGI programs and forms.
+ Full Debugging including conditional breakpoints.
+ Perl Scripts can be used as editor commands.
visiPerl 2.5 - http://www.helpconsulting.net/visiperl/
+ Handles <<EOF quoting.
- Does not handle qq{} quoting at all.
- Incorrectly handles multi line "" quoting.
- No debugging.
+ Very unique variable tree display/find/renamer.
+ FTP manager for auto uploading/editing.
+ HTML editor with preview.
Komodo 1.1 Beta 2 - http://www.activestate.com/
+ Fully handles <<EOF, and multi-line qq{} and "" quoting.
+ Background compile/warnign checking.
+ Basic debugging with Remote Debugging feature.
- Really, really slow and huge.
+ Very powerfull Regular Expression editor and debugger.
+ Many syntax highliting options, including HTML.
+ Source code folding for subroutines and blocks.
Those are the only ones I have used recently.
