Is there a visual perl editor out there, freeware or shareware for any
Linux flavor?

Since I use Vim the closest for me would be gvim.

Thank you, but I was hoping to have a editor compatible with Redhat and or
HP and or AIX that gives you a color coded interface, such when there is a
syntax error it color codes it in red. If you have ever seen or used a VB
editor you know what I mean. Currently I use vi all the time, does vim
have this color ability?

The perldoc discusses editing on Unix as well. In particular Komodo for
Linux from ActiveState who is very well respected in the Perl world.
Vim runs on basically any platform and provides a number of useful tools
depending on the language. Syntax highlighting as you mention is
included, though not exactly as you state. It doesn't specifically check
syntax, however once you get used to its coloring you will quickly be
able to find syntax errors because essentially everything past the first
will be the wrong color. Personally I don't believe in IDEs and have
never found a use for one. Syntax can be checked at the command line
with perl -c, the capabilities of Vim with split window support, code
folding, file manager, etc. are plenty. The Perl debugger which is
supposed to be very affective I haven't really needed either, generally
print statements work fine for me. I code in an edit, suspend process,
test, foreground process, edit, cycle... generally with at least 2
terminals.

Sorry haven't used a VB editor. This question is asked *a lot* on this
forum you should check the archives. There was also some discussion of
it on the Chicago PM list recently.

Vim will syntax highlight, by marking variables and regex and a few
other things like that. It can't find syntax errors, although it may
help make some clear.

Syntax errors in Perl are very hard to find without running perl. "Only
perl can parse Perl."
