I have been using Edit (in a dos box) on Windows for editing perl for
the past 8 years or so, and though it is fine for me, I think it is
time to step up to a windows based editor. Can anyone recommend a good
windows based perl editor?
My wish list for what the editor would be able to do is:
1. Allow me to run the program I am editting in a dos box (using
active state perl)
2. Have multiple undos
3. Create multiple back up files as I save changes (a form of version
control so I can step back to a previous "version" if what I did
doesnt work right).
4. Syntax hilighting
5. Multiple programs open at the same time
6. Some form of project structure to allow me to group all the files
together
Most of these "wishes" come from the MS Visual C++ editor I used to
use before discovering perl.
Searching the internet I came across Perl Express (http://perl-
editor.perl-express.com/) but am leary of downloading programs I find
on the internet without knowing if they are safe.
I am not sure if this would influence your recommendtions but the
majority (99%) of the perl I write is used on web servers.
Any / all suggestions are appreciated.
