Ever heard of Komodo? I've been using it for years for Perl development, plus it supports Python, Ruby, and a host of other languages.

I wouldn't consider doing any serious Perl dev without it.

is Komodo bound in any way to ActiveState perl distribution? or can it be configured to use any perl you have installed, including perlbrew stuff

No. If it were, I wouldn't even consider using it.

Switching between multiple interpreter installations is pretty easy (a drop down in a preference pane) -- it will find every interpreter on your path, and can index anything defined in $PERL5LIB for auto-complete goodness.

The debugger is great -- I love being able to set conditional breakpoints using a possibly complex expression in the native language (not just simple var=val type things).
