in reply to the best perl editor/ide on win32?

I have used Perlbuilder on a Win32 System. I the url is http://www.solutionsoft.com/perl.htm. PerlBuilder is pretty funtional, I used it for class. But I prefer the hard route, coding in a text editor. However, I hope that I have helped.

    Textpad is the best... syntax highlighting, line numbering, the ability to add/create your own add-in tools, macros, workspaces... tons of stuff.

    For instance, my tools menu in Textpad has "Perl - Check syntax", "Perl - Run in Console", and "Perl - Capture output", all of which act on the currently open file. I've also written my own "plug-ins" for Textpad in Perl, such as Dictionary/Thesaurus lookups, and the ability to send someone the open document simply by entering an e-mail address.

    Plus, it's very fast, and only $27.

    Everyone has their own way of doing things. I gave my option on what I like and I get down voted! That is screwed up! The question was about a perl editor on a Win 32 system. Perlbuildier is a compilor along with a text editor. So why did I get voted down on giving my option and trying to help another monk?
