For the little perl editing I do, I use Eclipse with the Perl plugin
(whats its name).
Why?  Because it is one of the few editors available for use
in my employer's environment, and I like the idea of Eclipse
as a very open and extendable editing and dev platform.  
Unfortunately, I have not been able to use the PadWalker module 
for decent debugging, or I haven't re-tried recently.

I know vi fairly well from way back.  It has a certain elegant
power.

I had wanted to learn more of emacs, because I can appreciate its power,
but it (or what version that is available to me) doesn't seem to play
very well with Windows file system (file names with blanks and such).
I gave up.

Of course, using Word, a word processor, as a pure text editor is a bad
match, IMHO.

Quick survey for everyone on the list.

What editor do you use for Perl (or any) programming?

1. vi (or variants)
2. emacs (or variants)
3. Eclipse
4. Komodo
5. Visual Studio
6. Notepad
7. TextMate
8. others?

Let us know what editor you use and the feature that you think makes it
a good choice for you.
