A perl mode built by perl programmers for perl programmers. And it works a hell of a lot better than any "IDE" I've ever used. I'll resist the urge to slander your editor sight unseen, but lets just say I'm anxious to get a look at this paramount effort. > My greatest hope for it is that it be a catalyst for more > corporate entities to embrace Perl That is absolutely hideous. What about "corporate entities" makes you desire their embrace? I'd prefer they stayed at arms length.
