I think I want to make it a habit to annually review my working environment, including OS, IDE, and any utilities that would make my coding more effective or enjoyable.<br><br>Spring seems like the right time to do this, so I'll just put the question out there to see if anyone has any suggestions.<br>
<br>Right now, my primary environment consists of the following:<br><br>- Mix of ubuntu/debian for servers, just installed Arch linux as my primary workstation OS.<br>- BZR as my version control system (been using it a while, and I like it)<br>
- Vim is my editor of choice along with plugins (perl-support.vm, nerd tree, perltidy.. plan to start using Perl::Critic soon)<br>- GNU Screen for terminal multiplexing<br>- Xmonad tiling window manager (minimalist awesomeness)<br>
- Tomboy + Snowy for notes<br>- And of course, Perl<br><br><br>Are there any other tools out there that you all are using to make your perl coding that much more interesting/fun/productive? I installed Padre via CPAN a few weeks ago, and I like the indentation high-lighting and function/method lists, but I just couldn't get into it. I know Vim well enough that it would be hard to break away. I considered using Cream, but again, too much stuff that I may not need. I like adding useful plugins and features one at a time.<br>
<br>Thanks!<br>Bobby<br>
