The best solution is the Eclipse IDE with the EPIC plugin. This works
really well and is really fast. It's also free. It takes a little bit to
set up a project, but once you're running, it's by far the best perl IDE
around. The only area it falls behind Komodo ( a commercial perl IDE ) is
in remote debugging.
