Perl Editor

[autek]

I want to try my hand at Perl. Besides vim and emacs, what is a good editor to choose. ??

I have been using vi (vim) since a professor forced us to use it when I took a c/unix course back in the early 90's. Once you get used to the interface modes, it grows on you.

For emacs, I prefer the xemacs version. The menu interface seems a little easier to use.

I have always liked Jed. It is a very simple ascii editor that has a function key based menu. It is a good alternative to vi that doesn't take a lot of resources.

For heavy duty word processing I use OpenOffice Writer. It is fairly compatible with MS Word. It is probably more compatible than the different version of MS Word are compatible with themselves!

I prefer vim for editing Perl programs any day :). It has good syntax highlighting for Perl, and folding is very handy for maintaining larger files.

Thanks for the input. Looks like Jed may just do all I need.
