Hi,

see http://faq.perl.org/perlfaq3.html#Is_there_an_IDE_or_W

There's Open Perl IDE, EngineSite and others, I found the IDEs I tried to be a bit slow and annoying but others may be more helpful, but...

As an alternative to an IDE, I use a text editor called ConTEXT which works really well with Perl (and many other languages). You get colour-syntax highlighting, and can assign the F9-F12 keys to Run/Debug(with eg: "perl -d:ptkdb")/Check(with "perl -c")/Profile(eg: "perl -d:DProf"). Also lets you comment out blocks of code easily.

It has plenty of clever features, though of course not the common IDE ones like 
prompting for function parameters etc. I find it helps me get code written quite fast. Worth a look, YMMV and all that :)

cheers,
Henry
