On Windows is there a **light-weight** IDE that can be used both with C and Perl? [closed]

Question

When I asked this previously I should have mentioned that it's particularly a light-weight IDE that I'm after, so I’m having to ask again as a different question.

Something that is not just a text editor, is light-weight and versatile, that would suit Strawberry Perl, the GCC that comes with MinGW, GDB and Subversion. Something that when I want to use it is straight-away available, and is also fast to shut down preserving all my work. It doesn't matter if it's not a free or open-source program, what does matter is that it’s stable and is comfortable to use.

Maybe trying to have one IDE to use for both C and Perl is the wrong way to go about it - resulting in a solution that's not going to handle either one language or the other as well as a dedicated IDE would?

Answer 1

Zeus is a language neutral IDE that can be be configured for almost any programming langauge.

It has features like syntax highlighting, code folding, project/workspace management, class browsing, macro scripting, integrated version control, ftp editing etc.

Answer 2

Have you looked at Padre, the Perl Application Development and Refactoring Environment?

It's still in development so you can help make it better.

Answer 3

SciTE would be worth a look.

Answer 4

Notepad++ is another Scintilla-based (as SciTE) source code editor.
