IDEs for PERL
● Emacs/vim/mceditor etc.
● Eclipse + EPIC

● Padre

Emacs/vim/mceditor etc.
Emacs – not for mere mortals ;)
Can do anything(Cperl),
if you know elisp

Emacs/vim/mceditor etc.
Vim – tiny and light editor.
Like a ОS emacs :) can do anything.
But you must “уметь готовить” )

Emacs/vim/mceditor etc.
Mceditor and etc. - not a full IDE,
but easy

Eclipse + EPIC
EPIC - Perl Editor and IDE for Eclipse.
This is plugin for Eclipse.
Good thing.

● Autocompletion (works bad)
● The fully Debug support[ YES! :) ]

Eclipse + EPIC
