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

Hello all. I have used komodo edit, which allows on the fly syntax check. This means that, for example, if I do:

use strict; my $name; $namw="Hello";

There will be on the fly red under-wavey thing, that will show me the typo, BEFORE I do perl -c. This cuts down development time, at least for me. Does anyone know of similar functionality in emacs, vi, ultraedit?
