Are there any free Perl IDEs out there for Windows that have debugging capabilities, syntax highlighting, and possibly even IntelliSense?

In Perl, the debugger is not a separate program the way it usually is in the typical compiled environment. Instead, the -d flag tells the compiler to insert source information into the parse trees it's about to hand off to the interpreter.
A temporary(one-time-only) breakpoint can be set with the use of c-command by supplying a line number: DB<15> c 12 main::(debugtest:12): &readsubdirs($vardir); The argument 12 specified with the c-command tells the debugger to set a temporary breakpoint at line 12 and then continue execution.
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?
