Why not emacs?  I find it works really well.  I use cperl mode which
highlights and indents automatically for me.  If I think it's indented wrong
then I've made an error.  The syntax coloring is very useful.  I've also 
got help from perlfunc at my fingertips.  Finally to debug, I can run it 
through perl -cw or use the perl debugger interace into emacs.  Works
great.  There's supposed to be a Perl class browser available for emacs
but it hasn't been important enough for me to look for it.

I'm actually using XEmacs 20.4.  I haven't gone to XEmacs 21 yet.
