Eclipse with the EPIC plugin or ActiveState's Komodo are pretty sophisticated 
and understand Perl. Both VIM and Emacs have Perl modes and can be made quite 
smart.

I must confess I use smaller scale tools because the slow start up of the 
full-blown IDEs puts me off. I've found Geany and Kate acceptable tradeoffs 
between speed and functionality, but I really should look at the bigger tools 
again...
