Developer’s Description

By Solutionsoft

Build Perl CGI scripts with this full-featured IDE.

Perl Builder is a complete integrated development environment (IDE) for Perl. Key features include a visual editor/debugger that is similar to products such as Visual Basic and Delphi. The CGI Wizard component lets both novices and experienced programmers create powerful scripts visually, without writing code. CGI simulation lets you run, debug, and test scripts on the Windows 95/98/NT/2000 desktop--without the need for a Web server. Output such as Dynamic HTML and automated e-mail messages can be examined visually in the IDE. The Perl Builder IDE includes all the features you expect in a professional development tool, including color syntax highlighting, automatic indentation, a full-featured debugger with mouseover variable inspection, single step, watches, and data structure dump.

Pros
Easy to understand
Cons
It's not working in XP and later
Summary
I lost my work for the whole day(!!!) because the software frozen randomly during work day. I contacted the developer but they just return my money back without any fix.
perl builder is the truth!!

Pros
i was a little skeptical but this thing built a CGI script for me from a form in an html file. it was so easy. there was very little to debug and that was just because i had ignored some simple instructions. once those corrections were made, poof, instant working script. it's amazing. really great software!!
Cons
unfortunately the price is a little ridiculous. there are too many free and cheap resources for a cgi perl programmer to justify paying $149 bucks for any tool. sorry solutionsoft:(

Would be great if they debugged it.

The is one of those programs that the must have released before the finished all the work on this version. You save a script and try to reopen it, and a lot of your data isn't there. I sent them a bug report and they were very nice and sent me a fixed version quite fast. But the fixed version still did not save all the data. If you by mistake hit close before you save a script it will no prompt you to save it, you will lose all your work. The cgi wizard, which is the only thing that makes the program viable for non-programmers, is full of bugs, too many to list here. If you use the cgi wizard then try to use the "debug in browser" utility, it doesn't work. I don't know if it works if you hand code the script. But this thing is full of problems. If you want it, wait six months 'til they have it right.

I still find the use of IDE's like this cumbersome. You are better of learning the language and using a test editor.
Too Expensive
