Are there any free Perl IDEs out there for Windows that have debugging capabilities, syntax highlighting, and possibly even IntelliSense?
There is an overview of Perl IDE's here. I find Padre very promising, but I'm not sure it already has all features you need (if not it probably will soon).
Eclipse with addons perhaps?
Have a look at EPIC
http://www.epic-ide.org/
This isn't free but you could have a look at Komodo (ActiveState). When I looked at it a few years ago they were offering a free license for open source developers.
Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/
GNU/Emacs with cperl-mode: http://gnu.org/software/emacs
Emacs has better editing capabilities (and hilights Perl better, ironically), but Padre might be enough for you.
perlfaq3 lists several IDEs for Windows.
I use enginsite Perl Editor lite version, mainly for the function, variable breakdown feature and the compile/run feature.
if you want more feature then you might want to look at the full version.
Komodo Edit from ActiveState supports debugging and it's cross-platform.

I have a big project with many .c and .h files to navigate. What tool do you have the best experience?
I searched online and found users recommend etags, global, and ECB. I just wonder which one is best for my case so that I can stick with it. Thanks.
I think etags or ctags are easy to use. Many open source projects come with make rules to generate the databases for these type. For C++, ebrowse is better. Personally, I like to use a project bundled with emacs. If you download a 3rd party app, you will have to re-compile whenever you upgrade, and often there is more integration work. At least if you start with etags and ctags, you can find they don't have the needed features and then investigate some of the 3rd party eLISP packages.
I have made some assumptions.
You use *nix.
You use Gnu emacs.
Something else may be better with XEmacs and/or on Windows and OSx.
Apparently, global fits my criteria; but I have never used it personally. I have tried to get CEDET working and it is very difficult. It might be easier if your distro comes with a package (.deb, .rpm, etc) for something like CEDET.

I would like to know what would be the best programming languages to develop an open source that can work on mainly windows and mac.
any person should be able to change the source code if he/she wanted to without the need to recompile it. this is to allow further development and bug fixing.
The application does not require a massive computational resources and it would have a GUI.
what would you recommend?
the only thing i have in mind is to do the application using matLab. any other choice?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Python. There are many IDEs available, and the code is extremely readable. The community also maintains excellent documentation. I would advise against using Matlab to develop Open Source Software because Matlab itself is not an open source program. Maybe since you are talking about something mathematical, an open source alternative could be Octave? But I don’t really know what you mean by an application. Hope anything I suggested helped.

I am looking for a modern, highly usable, single package IDE/wrapper for Eclipse (if such things exist). Something that would provide a wrapper to Eclipse and add some style, a nicer interface, better code highlighting, etc. Any suggestions?
Edit:
-Java
-Looking for a nicer "prettier" IDE with more visual features and code completions, etc.
-Should be able to install it on a live Eclipse install
Eclipse is one of the best IDEs in terms of code completion and refactoring features. If your concerns are mainly style, you can customize syntax coloring using the Preferences > Java > Editor > Syntax Coloring menu. Or check out color themes here.
If you want a different skin for Eclipse you could try here. There are also code visualization plugins and style warnings, but you need to be specific about what you want.
I'm not sure if it's going to give you everything you're asking for, but there is STS.
Aptana is pretty good, www.aptana.com

Can anyone share his experience working with go in one of the three java IDE giants -I mean eclipse, netbeans and JIdea
--
there's a similar question here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1737098/is-there-an-ide-for-go but I think it's a little outdated, almost a year ago...
There is a page at http://go-lang.cat-v.org/text-editors/ which describes methods for getting various text editors and IDEs, including Eclipse and IntelliJ IDEA, to play nicely with Go. Both GEdit and Vim have decent support, having defined methods for integration with GoCode, a code completion daemon, and syntax highlighting.
There's this: http://code.google.com/p/goclipse/, but it's in the alpha stages of development. Could do with a little bit of love.
Vim, Emacs or LiteIDE http://code.google.com/p/golangide/

What are the good "rich" IDEs for Lisp? To clarify by "rich" I mean it should have a good look-up reference, auto complete, auto inclusion, checking of various sorts, some kind of compilation support, version management, REPL, etc. I have reviewed some of the previous questions/answers (Such as What’s a good Common Lisp implementation for Windows?) but it really does not get to my need/question. I am used to Eclipse and have found (CUSP but activity/support seems light).
Don't hassle me about the phrase "rich" IDE, by saying that emacs or slime is wonderful and that it is and IDE. I have used emacs for years during college, I understand. I am wondering what else is out there (and good) more along the Visual Studio, Netbeans, or Eclipse, type UI and feature set?
Lispworks.
A friend of mine bought a copy himself to develop Lisp programs in his sparse time. (He is very experienced in Lisp)
Lispworks also has a free personal edition.
Hm, strange seeing you dismiss Emacs+Slime as it covers most (all?) the points you've mentioned and a lot more. Note that Slime != Emacs, at all.
edit: E.g., stuff like CUSP or Lispworks are not as rich as Emacs+Slime.
CUSP
I have not actually tried it but MCLIDE sounds nice. But I concur with most other: SLIME is great.
