OptiPerl is a comprehensive software that enables effortless development of CGI scripts in Perl right from your Windows computer. The software comes equipped with an intuitive visual interface that facilitates the creation, testing, debugging and execution of Perl scripts, both directly or through associated HTML documents, along with numerous other tools.
OptiPerl 5 is a top-of-the-line visual environment and editor software that allows you to create, test, debug, and run perl and cgi scripts with ease, whether directly or through associated html documents. It boasts of a well-designed user interface and many features that make it stand out from its competitors.
One of the software's most notable features is its offline editing of CGI Perl Scripts. It also comes with complete emulation of a real server, allowing scripts to be run indirectly from html documents, with OptiPerl's internal server. The software also provides excellent support if using an apache server.
Another feature that sets this software apart from the rest is its live preview of the scripts in the internal web browser as text or web document. It also has a feature-packed editor with syntax highlighting and much user customization.
OptiPerl 5 offers completely integrated local & remote debugging with live evaluation of expressions, watches, breakpoints, flow control, and a code explorer which is a navigational tool that lists elements in your script and can also do a perl pattern search. It also has a code librarian and code templates that can be shared with others, context-sensitive help on all of Perl's core and module documentation, and a query editor to easily create queries to be tested with a GET and POST method.
Other features of OptiPerl 5 include a Pod extractor that creates a tree list view of embedded or standalone pod info, a to-do list associated with each script, a version converter to handle non supported perl functions in windows, a smart FTP uploader with a database of upload locations, project support and publishing, a live RegExp Tester, a source reformatter, and many other tools like Encoder, Perl Printer, Log Viewer, File Explorer, and others.
OptiPerl 5 is suitable for both professionals and amateurs. Professionals designing perl programs and cgi scripts use it to save a lot of time by quickly creating, debugging, and testing all the ideas they have, increasing their productivity. On the other hand, OptiPerl 5 is also a great learning tool. You can use it to learn Perl and CGI programming in the comfort of a visual editor without loss of time and money because of loading from DOS or being online for hours on end.
