SSH -X for Windows
Lately I’ve been experimenting with an application called Xming. The short and sweet of Xming is that it is a free X windows server for windows.

Perl provides an interesting challenge to programmers since it, like most linux-originating languages, has no real IDE wherein it can be debugged step by step with breakpoints and like methodologies. Instead, the perl programmer must resort to using print statements, logging mechanisms, and then there is the __END__.
