LOL, you're right!

I guess the excitement is being able to use a solid IDE very easily with very little friction to get to work.

Features I like so far:

• Good and smart syntax highlighting
• Refactor/renaming stuff
• Running a script inside the IDE console
• Debugging with point and click breakpoints, watchers, evaluations (basically all you have in Java)
• Jumping to implementation (i.e. Goto -> declaration/implementation actually works and drills into modules, etc.)
• Find in path is a great IJ feature and works nicely with Perl code
• Specific support for: mason, TT2, Mojolicious, and embedded Perl (I haven't tested all of these)

I hope this gives you a better idea. There's probably more and I'll update this node from time to time as I find or discover new features.
