Mac Perl Geeks: Check Out Affrus
We've got a whole pile of Mac nerds in the office who spent all day busily installing Boot Camp, and now that they've realized that... hey, it's just Windows, they're looking for something new to play with. Maybe it's time to check out Affrus, a new IDE for Perl hackers on Mac OS X. Seems like a nice tool to try out for people who are doing advanced Movable Type plugins or who want to work on the LiveJournal code base, or even if you just like getting your hands dirty with Perl. All the basics are there, like solid text editing, Perltidy integration, and Finder integration, but there's also a robust set of debugging functions that you can access through the graphical interface or through the command line.
