already, and possibly an emacs too, so you may not need to download
anything. In any emacs the cperl-mode (M-x cperl-mode) gives you
perhaps the best available Perl editing mode in any editor.

If you are using Windows, you can use any editor that lets you work
with plain text, such as NotePad or WordPad. Word processors, such as
Microsoft Word or WordPerfect, typically do not work since they insert
all sorts of behind-the-scenes information, although some allow you to
save files as "Text Only". You can also download text editors designed
specifically for programming, such as Textpad (
L<http://www.textpad.com/> ) and UltraEdit ( L<http://www.ultraedit.com/> ),
among others.

If you are using MacOS, the same concerns apply. MacPerl (for Classic
environments) comes with a simple editor. Popular external editors are
BBEdit ( L<http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/> ) or Alpha (
L<http://www.his.com/~jguyer/Alpha/Alpha8.html> ). MacOS X users can use
Unix editors as well.
