P0w3rK!d has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Has anyone used Visual Perl yet? If so, how is the IDE? Is it easy to work with?
Thank you. :)

    I'm using it without any problems. I'm used to developing in a Visual Studio environment, however, as I also develop in VC++ and VB. Moving to the new .NET tools and platform was a relatively painless task (except for the politics involved in getting servers upgraded so that I could actually USE these cool new webservices), and the Visual Perl IDE was a welcome addition. It means that I can do 95% of all of my development in one common environment.

    I'm also liking what I see from C# and the other .NET langs. I've only written two webservices so far, but I have a feling I'll be developing more of them in the future as the first two grow in popularity.

    YMMV, some restrictions may apply.

    The IDE is OK, it has a couple of issues that need to be worked out. If you like the Visual Studio IDE, then it will probably be worth your money to buy Visual Perl. I've found that I'm just too dependent on vim. Although I just found out you can use vim with Visual Studio. I'm going to have to give that a try.

    I find that vim and bash make for a powerful and flexable IDE.


    begin rant
    Why does anyone need Visual anything?
    M$ needs it to make money and that about the extent
    of the usefulness of these Visual IDE ... tools.
    end rant
      If it was similar to Borland's Delphi, it would be a great tool. Not all graphical tools are bad. I use 'gvim' on both Winnt and Linux, but if Borland came out with a Perl IDE, I'd definitely take a look at it. I'd want it to run on non-Windows OSes though.
