Tommy has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Times, they are a-chaingin', but are the tools?

I recently asked tobyink about his opinion on this topic, but I thought it also made sense to pose this question to everyone in the community:

If you had to name the 10 most essential tools you use as a Perl developer -- the 10 utilities you wouldn't ever want to work without, what would they be? Now I'm asking about utilities specifically. Stating that CPAN and the Perl community are essential is an obvious understatement, but I'm asking for a list of things more like your software tool suite, such as komodo, padre, eclipse, a good irc client for example...

For me, the list isn't exhaustive; I'm not even sure if I have 10. But what about you?

My list currently includes (in no particular order)
