EngInSite Perl Editor Professional
-
Version
2.4
EngInSite Perl Editor is a complete integrated
development environment (IDE)
for creating, testing and debugging Perl scripts,
which runs on Windows 9x/NT/2000/XP or later.
By bringing together the editing, testing and
debugging instruments into a single, user-oriented
environment, EngInSite Perl Editor makes it easy to
develop sophisticated Perl applications right on your
desktop.
One of the most important features in EngInSite Perl
Editor is the ability to run your Perl script within
the integrated development environment (IDE) and see
the results immediately. This is especially important
for CGI scripts, because testing and debugging these
scripts can often be
difficult.
If you have used an HTML authoring tool like Microsoft
Front Page, you are probably used to creating web
pages and immediately previewing them in your browser.
This ability to preview the pages on your computer
saves a lot of time; you typically move the HTML pages
to your webserver only after they have been carefully
edited and tested on the desktop.
With CGI scripts, the situation is more complicated.
Because CGI is integrated into the server, you can
only test a CGI script on a webserver. So unless you
have installed and configured a webserver, such as
Apache, on your desktop computer, you can't use your
browser to test a script on your local machine. For
this reason, CGI scripts are typically tested and
debugged directly on
the server. However, this can be a difficult and
confusing process, especially if you are not an
experienced CGI developer or webmaster. In particular,
finding and fixing problems in your scripts can be
very difficult.
You can use our Local Server (no installation nor
configuration necessary), you can see the output right
away in your web browser--in much the same way that
you would preview a static HTML page. Or you can edit
your scripts right on the remote server as if they are
on your desktop and see real-life results.
The choice is yours.
