For windows there are Komodo and Perl builder but they aren't free.

It is very solid editor with "saving via ftp" feature.

perldoc -q editor

"Is there an IDE or Windows Perl Editor?"

You might try Google groups, too -- this gets asked at least once or
twice a month.

i found the PerlWiz 1.3.2

Is it good?

The perldoc command is useful but is there in an HTML format or PDF?
Looking for a brief documentation!

NO!! that's probably the poorest part of Perl is its documentation.
There's too much of it,
lots of it is old,
lots of it is done by *nixers who *assume* all sorts of stuff,
there is no simple way to search for a term/name because the current AS
Perl's docs are in html
(an eariler version had docs done by MS doc system (don't know what to call
it) and you could do
global searches. MUCH BETTER IMHO),
lots of best stuff (say on OOP), is scattered all over the WEB.

It really is all there, but, a real PAIN to find & use.

Re original Q re IDE, I am happy with TextPad from the UK. License is $25 I
think. I just push a macro-button to have current script run, and results
returned. I have never once run anything at CLI, can't even think of why I
would want to.

The perl distribution has a program that can convert the std docs
from POD to HTML:

perldoc pod2html

All the searching you could ever want. I'll agree that the naming of the
docs doesn't help a newbie (I suppose that's what perltoc is for), but it
does start to make sense the more you use them.
