It’s rather a personal choice. If you’re writing Perl, I don’t think you need anything other than a text editor. Komodo IDE has a lovely interface for debugging though.

My emacs configuration is quite IDE-like in many respects. I expect many people have VIM configs that do more for you as well.

In terms of actual IDEs, the standard is eclipse, I prefer Komodo.

It really is intensely personal. Try a few.
