`whoami` writes "Does anybody know what the development status for Ashley Winters' modules PerlKDE and PerlQt is (CPAN directory)? Their last update lies a long time back. Some fellow KDEers confirmed that PerlQt doens't work with a recent version of Qt, and PerlKDE only supports KDE1, so the modules need an update urgently.
As I didn't get a response to several emails to the author, I tried to find a hint on Usenet, on the modules@perl.org mailing list, on IRC and on the kde-devel mailing list, but to no avail.
However, I can't believe that nobody cares about Perl support for Qt and KDE, so I want to ask here
Please help preventing that Perl support for KDE and Qt dies. Any hint is appreciated!"
Also worth noting is that theKompany is actively working on a Python IDE for KDE. With all of the recent activity on Qt and KDE, it's rather surprising that PerlQt and PerlKDE haven't been updated in a year...
It is a cross-platform, multi-language IDE that supports Perl, Python and JavaScript. There are Linux and Windows versions.
The Linux version is only at Technology Preview 4, but it DOES work well under KDE.
Based on what I've seen and read about the Windows Beta 1.3, eventually Komodo/Linux will support C#, C++, Java, Lua, Makefile, Pascal, PHP, XML and XSLT.
Komodo is more than an editor, it is a full IDE with integrated debugger, code folding, syntax checking, integrated help, etc.
I don't know what ActiveState's plans are, but right now the products are free.
Since at the moment, I'm doing most of my perl coding for an NT server I've been using the Windows beta. But I've installed the Linux version on my Athlon and am impressed with both.
The Perl libraries to develop KDE and Qt applications are still out of date. The folks at theKompany are interested in making it easy to develop Python applications for KDE and Qt though.
