Hi,
Our Company is planning to buy some IDE for Perl, for Windows 2K
As I Searched through Internet, I found quite many of them like Komodo ,
Optiperl, PerlIde(free), etc
Can you suggest which one to buy

Perlbuilder from http://solutionsoft.com/perl.htm
is very good. I have used it for years. I have not
tried any of the others.

A lot of people swear by emacs or gvim.

Never worry about anything that you see on the news.
To get on the news it must be sufficiently rare
that your chances of being involved are negligible!

There's a top notch IDE for Perl and it's totally free ... it's called
GNU/Linux. Not sure if it runs on Win2K though ...

Sure it does, it's called Cygwin . Some rumours have it that
ActiveState Perl for Win32 with TextPad (not free) and some Win32 GNU
tools also come close

Why don't you try the trial versions. Both Komodo and Optiperl have time
limited trials.

I use Emacs on linux and Xemacs on win32 for coding perl. Both take a while
to learn but are well worth the time invested (like perl ^_^ )

I tried optiperl and its quite good but happy enough with *macs.

what version of perl are you running and from what source did you get it
from, and what version of perl builder?

That program crashed my perl build.

Yeah, Linux actually runs on Windowns with Cygwin or Cooperative Linux.

Please don't spread FUD. This crashed your Perl, that crashed your Perl, the
other crashed your Perl... Have you ever stopped to consider that what is
crashing your Perl is sitting between the keyboard and chair?

Seriously, what seems more likely to you: That thousands of other people are
having the same problems but keeping quiet about it, that thousands of
other people are using some sort of secret undocumented voodoo to make
these buggy products work, or that you're doing something wrong?

Please stop parroting posts you don't understand.

Cygwin is *not* "Linux on Windows". It's a package of various user-land GNU
tools - bash, gcc, sed, perl, etc. The tools are built to run natively
under Windows, and the package does not include the Linux kernel in any
form whatsoever.

Ain't soup yet.
