[Ravikumar S]

Hi,

Please suggest me a best perl editor (freeware). I am new to perl and started learning "Learning Perl" of "Oreilly.

I would like to start with a good editor as well. Pls suggest. I did a quick google search and found few:
1. Perl Express
2. Crimson Editor

Thx,
Ravi

Ravikumar S,

I would suggest vim, personally. If you use a good perl macro set, it's very sweet.

Good Luck!

To tell you the truth, its which ever one you find that you like best. I personally use Komodo Edit. Find one you like and stick with it. :)

Thank you for your suggestion.

You can try Eclipse+EPIC or Padre IDE. Padre IDE is included into beta of Strawberry Professional, but Padre is outdated there. If you have Strawberry you can install Padre there, with CPAN client.
