Command line or GUI?

If its a GUI, take a look at SciTe - Its not as heavyweight as things
like Eclipse/Epic, but handles perl fairly well, and does many nice
things like tabbed editor panes, syntax highlighting (and possible
auto-completion), configurable build/run/debug tools and folding
blocks.

It uses the scintilla text component, and also runs in windoze too.

If its command line, well I am afraid it really is vi(m) or emacs. I
wont say my preference of the two, but have used both at different
points throughout time. I hear Nano is easy and lightweight, but is
hardly an IDE.
