The CVS version of GNU Emacs compiles with no problems on Panther and
is fast, Carbonized, and *very* nice:
http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/emacs/
The following six commands will install it:
export CVS_RSH="ssh"
cvs -z3 -d:ext:email@hidden:/cvsroot/emacs co emacs
cd emacs
./configure --without-x --enable-carbon-app
make bootstrap
sudo make install
The build takes about half an hour on my PowerBook G4 1GHz, but YMMV.

Wow, BBEdit is almost 200 dollars. Does anyone know of an open source

go as
far text / perl script editing goes.

You should give BBEdit a try
(http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/index.shtml). It
isn't free,
but it's by far the favorite all-purpose text editor on the Mac. It
supports regular text, HTML, and a plethora of other
languages such as
C, C++, Objective-C, Python, Ruby, BASH scripts, Perl, PHP, regular
expressions, XML, and a lot more which I can't think of off
the top of
my head.
OS X comes with built in Perl support along with Apache, so you can
easily test all of your perl scripts either from the command line, or
by accessing your scripts via web pages using the address
http://localhost/path/to/script.pl
It is very easy to develop web applications on the Mac,
probably moreso
than on a PC since OS X comes with everything you need right
out of the
box (minus BBEdit, of course).
Hope that helps.

Hello xcode users. I am a recent convert and I need some advice
regarding
the best way to create and test perl scripts in Panther. Is
xtools/xcode
good for this? Does anyone recommend any particular
application? For
example, in a windows environment you can use a freeware app called
Crimson
Editor which is aware of perl syntax and can color code your script
for you
and it also provides a way to test your scripts. I hope
there is such
a
convenient way to write perl scripts on a mac. TIA, Robert.
