yeah, i was talking about windows. linux ide's are still at the sucking wind 
stage...

i think that's because they tried to make $1000 a pop with it on a free 
os...didn't gel all that well with linux developers

true enough. obviously you wouldn't use a perl ide on anything much under 100 
lines of perl code...

however on 1000+ lines of perl code, for an application, an ide is a must. 
especially if you are working remotely/collaboratively, etc. command line tools 
just don't cut it that point...

from what i read on the mailing list komodo works very well is probably the 
premiere perl/tcl/python ide for linux...in the windows world it has a lot of 
competition
