If you're a Unix guy then a vi or emacs variant will do the job with appropriate extensions.
If you're more of a Mac guy then TextWrangler is pretty good, as is Smultron if you switch off the evil metal look :-)

Smultron seems to suit my purposes, but how can I hotkey it to run my perl straight from the editor?

My bad. I thought Smultron had this functionality, but my memory was obviously playing tricks on me. Sorry.
(Since it is open source you could always write a patch of course :-)
TextWrangler (currently my default OS X editor) definitely does allow this. The "Run" option of the "#!" menu can be bound to a hotkey using the "Set menu keys" option of the "TextWrangler" menu.

Carbonized GNU Emacs works fine for me. Free, syntax highlighting, hotkeys galore. {grin}

Carbonized GNU Emacs
Dear merlyn,
What's the meaning of the word "carbonized" here?

The current mainstream "CVS HEAD" GNU Emacs compiles to be a native application on OSX, including understanding Apple Events and handling drag/drop and mouse movement. This is not the X11 version requiring the X11 server: it runs native using Carbon calls. Carbon GNU Emacs also uses Apple fonts, not X11 fonts, which I prefer, and also enables the "Services" menu, so I can do cool things there.
You can get it by compiling directly from the CVS HEAD, which I do daily... takes about a half hour to compile, but CPU is cheap.
You can also download
precompiled binary snapshots, but bear in mind that these are "pre-release" versions and may have broken functionality or preliminary documentation.

I believe that he's referring to a version of Emacs that uses the Carbon APIs to make an application behave as a native Macintosh application. Google around for it carbonized Emacs, as I remember there's a version in CVS.
Personally, I like vi/vim as editors, I can run them in Terminal.app on my IBook and through ssh sessions to and from other computers. Nice stuff.
Cheers. :)

I like to vote for aquamacs since it includes everything for perl and has a fine integration of filerequests and copy and paste.
Another nice editor is SubEthaEdit free for private use. And Eclipse with the EPIC plugin.
