    Can anyone recommend an IDE for Perl?

    My platform is solaris unix though I'd like to as well work on my home WinXP PC.

    At the mo, I use vi, which is grand for ~ 100 LoC but I hope to progress onto larger projects.
    Some advice has been to try Xemacs which as a Perl sub-section.

    Any thoughts helpful.

    Off the top of my head. Jext.

    I used to have a nice one for the mac, can't remember the name of it though (had a camel as an icon).

    for windows you could try a nice little app called 'cool edit'

    Its more a fancy text editor than an ide but you can install text highlighting modules for many common languages (perl, php) and even an ftp mofule which automatically uploads the script to its rightfull place.

    I use Joe for any of my *nix editing so I cant help you there, its no better than vi for large projects.

    ActiveState has one - Komodo is it? Personally I'd just use Python and don't worry about it :P

    win32 option I would recomentd Context
    http://www.fixedsys.com/context/

    I have used komodo....
    did not really think all that much of it....
    The advantage would be the you could use komodo on both win32 and *nix platforms...

    I will working on my final year project
    and I am useing redhat 7.3 .... kdevelop supports the perl syntax highlighting... and it has integration with cvs
