I was discussing a Perl project with a collegue, when one made the remark that actually there's no real Perl IDE (apart from Emacs or Vim, of course). I said that Eclipse maybe could be a solution, and lo and behold : two minutes later, my collegue found the website of EPIC, which is a very impressive Eclipse plugin. The number of Eclipse plugins is really impressive, even Clearcase plugins can be found. They now can all be found on the Eclipse plugin website.

Some days ago, I pointed out that Eclipse entered Debian. Unfortunately, there are still some problems to be solved for the Debian package. Luckily, the default Eclipse zipfile turned out the be a breeze to install.
