Hi Shawn , I use Kate extensively for Perl development. I do all my  testing 
with  the handy built in terminal by  using use CGI qw(-debug); in the script 
and  testing the  script  with key value pairs .

another method  I have used in the pass was to run my own Apache server on the 
development box and  setup  Apache to server the  scripts  and html I was 
working from the development directory.

You can look into VIM as well it has a awesome embedded Perl environment , but 
in my opinion the learning curve is  too  steep ,  I need to  pound out code  
now so I stick with kate.

Good Luck

Greg
