Hey all,

I have been getting into Perl programming recently and i have been doing so for the past few week on my windows ME computer. I am using activeperl from www.activestate.com so i can practice Perl while in windows.

I also recently purchased Linux Mandrake 8.1 (very cool os btw...) and i want to just start using that for my Perl programs. I have read/browsed the manual for information on how to invoke the Perl dev environment while in linux. The manual has a table of contents but not an index so it makes it hard for me to find the exact information i am after.

Without flaming me or without rtfm replys can anyone tell me where/how to find the perl dev environment. I am not really sure what it is called in linux because like i mentioned before i have been using activeperl for all my Perl programming.

I also tried google but i guess i could phrase it correctly because i kept getting the wrong results.

Thanks to anyone who can help me with this.
