Well even though I'll be downvoted again by the vi advocates, I use the built-in editor of MidnightCommander, called mcedit. It has great coloration for Perl, has very intuitive keys,macros, and has a visible file manager for you to immediately test your script, just hit enter on the script, observer the output, then hit F4 to edit. I usually have 3 or 4 mc xterms opened at a time. It has menus for search and replace, can do "column edits", and I think is the easiest and fastest way to do Perl. It also has a built-in hex editor. I don't dispute that vi is a better editor from technical viewpoints, but I find that anyone can sit down and start working with mc, (and without cheatsheets
so common to vi).
I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
