Debian Linux (Ubuntu Linux comes from Debian).<br>
<br>
Inside the terminal I'm running vim as the editor, which
produces the lovely color coding. Vim offers many color
schemes.<br>
<br>
You can run vim on mac and windows also, but if vim isn't your
thing, you can try sublime (a new and popular editor that isn't
modal like vim, and is therefore less powerful but easier to
learn). Sublime also offers color coding.<br>
<br>
Another alternative is Padre, which is an editor written
explicitly for Perl programmers. Padre is also modeless. I
prefer the power of vim to any of the others, and I would never
steer a fellow programmer toward emacs, so I won't mention it
beyond that <span class="moz-smiley-s3"><span> ;-) </span></span><br>

I would love play around with this concept together
-- to use git/github to clone, fork, and hack
together our own individual bots and try them out in
real time together at the next meeting. We could
make them talk to each other, do spell checks,
wolfram alpha lookups, shorten URLs, fetch stock
performance stats, or any number of things.<br>
