Mark,
Any chance of getting you to talk about it at a pm meeting in the future??
I've recently discovered gvim and would like to start using it, and if you
have an a system that incorporates with gvim, the more the reason to use it.

I use three different "GUI" debuggers. The first is the Perl TK
Debugger. You need to have Tk installed, but I use this the most. It's
free and available on CPAN.

The 2ed is Komodo from ActiveState. I use this in the Perl class I teach
at Chandler-Gilbert CC. It's slooowww and cost real money unless you are
not using it to do for profit development.

The last is a system I developed that I call VIGOR. It uses the VIM
editor (thus you can develop with VIM and VIGOR :-) I hope to present a
paper at OSCON this year on this system.

I hope that this is of some help!
