I always found Codewrite to be a good general purpose editor. You can also
the customize keyword coloring and syntax (template) expansion rules.

I think that VC 4 may be able to be customized abit to make it easier to
code Perl.

Anybody tried it?

GNU Emacs will do the job nicely. When Xemacs is ported to NT, you'll
love it even more.

Long live Emacs.

Actually, it already has been. And works very nicely with perl I might add...

I am using NTEmacs 19.17 and am generally happy with it. However, I have
the following problems:

1) the perl debugger doesn't work. It seems like the way it's
reading user input messes up the way Emacs controls the shell under in a
window. Words don't echo out and the shell generally suffers from such
indigestion that I have to kill it.

2) Hitting control-d to end STDIN input causes the entire shell to end.

I'm not at all familiar with Emacs (I'm using it in anticipation of vim
coming out for NT). Could people who are happily using Emacs with Perl
under NT share their configuration tips, etc?

Have these problems perhaps been addressed by a more recent release of NTEmacs?

Mark.

A very fine editor I've been very happy with in NT is PFE - the
Programmers File Editor. PFE is incredibly flexible, powerful, and
completely free (of course, emacs is all these things too, - this is
still an editor worth checking out).

PFE's home page is :
http:://www.lancs.ac.uk/people/cpaap/pfe/

(BTW: I have no affiliation w/ the authors of PFE other than being a very
satisfied user...)

What module are you useing for that? The one I got from CodeWrite's
repository is a "first cut" and doesn't work very well. I emailed the
credited author to see if a newer one was ever produced, but got no reply. A
particulary annoying thing is that an array-size usage of # is colored as a
comment. And it gets messed up if you use alternate forms of quoting
delimiters. And naturally it doesn't know anything about Perl 5 goodies.

This is not a forum for discussing emacs specifics. A majordomo
mailing list devoted to FSF GNU Emacs is available via
ntemacs-users@cs.washington.edu. You can subscribe to it in the
traditional fashion.

Thanks. It's in everyone's interest to keep the list on-topic.

I forsee a need for a perl-win32-users list one day. Maybe soon.

Tim.
