Are there Perl GUI builders, especially for WxPerl?

Can anyone suggest me a easy to use Perl language IDE with GUI designing support for Ubuntu.
Take a look at the EPIC plugin for Eclipse. I've used that a few times, and if you like Eclipse, it's very nice.
If you never used Eclipse before, you need to download Eclipse, install it, and then install the EPIC plugin.
Komodo is one of the nicest IDEs for Perl, works with Linux, and is now on sale for only $245!
Gabor Szabo, one of the big Perl mucki-mucks, created Padre. I have never used it, but if Szabo was involved, it's probably pretty good.
I personally use VIM. Yes, it's not an IDE, but it does syntax highlighting, and you can reference the Perldoc by pressing K over a keyword or module name. VIM isn't as easy to use as an IDE, but I find editing in VIM much faster than most IDEs.

Eclipse: Show author of each line in editor?
(3 answers)
Closed 8 years ago.
so this is a question i'm struggling to google (i don't know the terms) - i'm sure there is an answer out there somewhere.
In intelliJ i can press some button (seen my coworkers do it) to see who checked in which lines of code in a file. It is pretty nifty stuff.
Does eclipse let me do that when coupled with perforce? If so, how can i do that?
UPDATE:
And now i see that this is a VC-specific feature, let me expand the question to include the use of perforce.
I'm not sure about Eclipse, but with the P4V tool you can use 'Time Lapse View'. It's very powerful and easy to use, and will help you understand who changed which line in complete detail.
See: http://www.perforce.com/resources/tutorials/time-lapse-view
In Subversion vocabulary, this is called a "blame" (or "annotate", this is supported in the Subversive plugin: https://stackoverflow.com/a/224221/500478
The P4Eclipse plugin has a native blame tool available from the Team menu.
I have recently started working with Perl. Googling reveals a number of editors but I am unable to find an editor that will help me navigate a large body of Perl source code. One of the features that I am looking for is the ability of the IDE to integrate with different modules and allow me to jump from one to another. If possible, it will also help if one can see the which function calls what.
I used source insight for C programming and it provides these very useful features. Am looking for similar features in perl.
Help appreciated
Have you looked at Padre? It is a Perl IDE developed by the Perl community.
I'm just giving EPIC a chance.
http://www.epic-ide.org/
Its an Eclipse plugin utilizing a mighty IDE. The advantage I see in using EPIC over Padre is the fact that eclipse can do all sorts of languages and I don't have to get used to multiple different editors every time.
Another great aproach for Perl programming is using emacs. Yes ... its old but I had quite some joy while getting into Perl.

Komodo IDE, from Active State is also quite good. I haven't used any other Perl IDEs so cannot make comparisons. Most of the features that you are looking for I believe are available in Komodo.
On a side note: The feature that I most appreciated in Komodo was visual debugging.
I mainly use jEdit for Perl programming.
The PerlSideKick plugin, allows you to navigate huge Perl modules (mainly just a plugin for the SideKick plugin).
But there's not much to give you that easy Shift+click navigation you get from Eclipse. jEdit is 100% programmable through Beanshell macros (and JavaScript and Python and JRuby...). So, you can do some of this yourself. So there would be work involved.
For example, it been close enough for me to create "Selection macros" that will allow certain actions on the package or name either highlighted or at the caret. For example, open up the module indicated by the package name.
The Navigator plugin will at least remember where you were last across files.
You might be able to do cross-module navigation through one of the tags plugins
So this won't get you all the way you'd want to go, but it will get you some of the way, and for $0.
It has the most configurable source highlighting this side of writing Emacs-LISP.
It does FTP and remote editing cleaner than most editors I've used.
You can build up a library of Beanshell (shorthand Java) scripts that really help you get what you want done.
Just remember that this recommendation comes with caveats. I have found EPIC quite sub-standard for my use.

What is the most useable VI/Vim plugin for Eclipse?
I have seen a few vi plugins for eclipse. Can anyone suggest which one is the best (not buggy, maintained easy to install...)?
Thanks,
Marko
I have found Vrapper to be the best one. It is free and does a very good job of providing the most important features of vi/Vim.
As I have checked a minute ago it is still developed.
I've found viplugin to be sufficiently powerful and robust that I've paid for it. It's not often I would say that!
I used a bunch of them and my definitely favorite is http://viableplugin.com/ . It's not free, but it actually works like real VIM. In Vrapper you can't search and replace properly, and simple commands like capital-P are subtly different.
I'm using both, viable and viplugin and i like both of them. Both are commercial plugins and both are more than just worth the 15 Eruros. Right now I prefer viplugin, as there's a lot of development going on lately (a new version is released once a week).

I used to be a huge fan of Intelli-J and there is a fantastic VI plugin for Idea. Now I'm shifting to the Spring Source Tool Suite for my primary IDE and need to find a VI plugin that will allow me to work just as effectively.
What plugin are people using?
I'm a bit late to this thread - but I wanted to throw in a vote for Vrapper. I used to work with the WindRiver Workbench IDE and I got used to the "Vim layer" it came with. WRW would push a Vim toggle button into the toolbar which allowed the user to activate/deactivate almost all standard Vim key bindings.
When I moved back to vanilla Eclipse I spent quite a bit of time trying to find this same feature and eventually concluded that WindRiver wrote the feature from scratch because it didn't seem to exist. Today I found Vrapper, which pushes a very similar toggle switch into my Eclipse toolbar and seems to have a fairly complete set of Vim key bindings as well. Two nice things: (1) Vrapper can also be activated with a key stroke as with any other Eclipse feature, (2) Vrapper does not deactivate the contextual help that pops up during hover actions.
I am also throwing in a vote for Vrapper ( http://vrapper.sourceforge.net/home ). I just started using Eclipse/CDT again for some C coding, and because Vrapper just emulates vi commands in the Eclipse workbench editor (instead of embedding VIM inside of eclipse), it appears to alter other Eclipse IDE functionality less. With vrapper my files end up with less unintentional h,j,k,l,/,? and line-breaks, that otherwise occur because my fingers forget they are not in vi. Vrapper doesn't have all the vi commands I want, but it is a big improvement over the Eclipse editor without Vrapper. It will be even better if they add some of their planned "future features", especially regular expression support.
I rate viPlugin highly enough to pay the small fee for the licensed edition (not licensing it means you get popups every so often, IIRC).
In my opinion it works better than the equivalent Intellij plugin.
I used to use vrapper, but a new plugin now has my vote and financial support. Check out viable at http://viableplugin.com/ It's not free, but any professional developer's time is easily worth the $15.
Viable actually supports regular expressions, which is a huge hole in vrapper. It also doesn't have a number of subtle bugs that vrapper has for basic copy/paste operations.
Viable appears to be fully dead as of mid 2014. :(
I'm using Eclipse J2EE JUNO R1 on Windows 7 x64.
Only Vrapper works.
viPlugin: I recently installed viPlugin 2.10.0 on Eclipse Juno via Eclipse marketplace. The result? Don't try it at home because Eclipse hangs. The only way out was to kill Eclipse and manually remove all remnants of viPlugin from the Eclipse installation.
Vrapper: At a first glance, this one works as advertised. I noticed that the search/replace option 'c' in ":%s/one/another/gc" does not work because Vrapper will replace all occurrences of "one".

I want to know which one is stable, fast and easy to use?
I installed the Aptana Studio Eclipse plugin this year when I was playing with Rails for fun. Eclipse was never the same again. Suddenly it took two or three times as long to load any Java or Haskell project, Eclipse started crashing intermittently and it completely messed up my layout. It wouldn't let me uninstall it and "manually" uninstalling it seemed to make it worse!
Rails was fun to play with but I had to learn to live with the Aptana plugin. I eventually got rid of it by totally deleting Eclipse and starting over. It wouldn't have been so bad if it didn't seem to take over Eclipse in a Cthulu-like way. I really liked the integration with Rails which was done well, and it seemed to be have a lot of features that would be useful on larger systems.
Aptana is built on eclipse.
Aptana can also be installed as an eclipse plugin if you already have a well set-up eclipse environment.
If you mean "which is better PDT, or aptana?" I'd have to go with Aptana. If only because it also does lots of other things well. The PHP support isn't significantly different from PDT to make it worth the added weight Aptana brings with it. However, you're probably also looking for a good css editor, Javascript editor, etc, and Aptana does those well.
I use Eclipse for all my work, have done for years. Perfectly happy with it.
Must admit I've not done any detailed comparisons with other IDEs. I fear that getting objective comparisons between IDEs may be quite tricky. I think that the vi v emacs wars still rumble on on some areas.
Another Happy Eclipse User here.
My personal opinion. I use it for mainly Java and PHP.
If you write PHP codes in Aptana i do not suggest it. Because Aptana 2.0 does not provide PHP plug in. It installs Eclipse as a plug in. So install Eclipse (actually PDT) and use it for PHP development will be better choice.
