I have not been a user as long (of Perl or, to be honest, computers :), but I have also placed most of my development into the hands of vi.
I mostly like the convenience of (on my Linux computer at least, the one I have for DOS is just because I have the tendency to want to use UNIX commands when I switch over) being able to write my code, then suspend vi, test the code (at the risk of sounding like a newcomer for something so simple) with warnings and strict to catch problems, then I can just bring unsuspend vi to make corrections.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
