Cool, thanks!  I'll give it another try.

I never said I'm only editing a few perl files.  Project management and VCS 
integration could be extremely useful and when the editor can't reasonably 
edit a few perl files, the editor will be still useless.

So it would seem right to use KDevelop instead of kate because KDevelop has 
basically all features kate has and which I would use to edit perl files which 
kate doesn't have while I could progress to using other features kate doesn't 
have but KDevelop has :)
