in reply to Name a Perl IDE - get a Perl book or YAPC ticket

Some off the top of my head suggestions.

layer (onions have layers - so do ogres - so does Perl).
perl maker (doesn't everything have to come down to pm? perl monks, perl mongers, perl module...)
pearl (just to confuse people)
open perl
pesto (no good reason, it just sounds cool)
pronto (no good reason, it just sounds cool)
Nonae (which is dumb because only calendar geeks will get it)

If it's called Pesto it should be based on pico. After all, pesto is made from Pine nuts!	[reply]

I personally believe that as an italian guy I should confirm that the name is very appealing! Just to pinpoint a detail though: pine nuts are a fundamental ingredient of pesto, but just not the main one. Of course we may use nano as a base for szabgab's IDE, which would bring us to... `nesto?` No, I don't think so, since it's horrible. OTOH serendipitously it suggests me of `nest`, which IMHO is fine albeit not Perl-related in any way I can think of. A nest, in fact, conveys the idea of (a nice and warm) environment. There only remains to find a suitable backronym for it, or not? Well, how 'bout a self-recursive one: "Nest: Enhanced Sourcecode T..." D'Oh, I can't think of a suitable word beginning with T! `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Well, sure, pine nuts aren't basil or olive oil, but basil's not a mail client AFAIK. It just wouldn't carry the joke the same. "Pine nuts" is also a gentle nudge to all those who take pico and nano everywhere when there are "real" text editors like vim and emacs out there. No, I'm not going to start a second holy war in the same node by comparing emacs and vim to each other. ;-) BTW, why aren't more people using joe to edit their Java?	[reply]
