Once this product is released, reportedly this year, the need for WINE can be eliminated. The performance timing tools do not currently work under Linux but may in the future when Inprise's Linux tools are released. You might expect any IDE to require a good documentation set, and Perl Builder won't let you down in that respect. Perl Builder includes several different forms of help. The standard help file contains information on using the IDE, including tutorials.
All dialogs have context-sensitive help.
The tutorials are well written, easy to read and understand, and use a WinHelp feature to enable them to remain visible at all times. Another help file contains a Perl language reference, and can be triggered from the editor by placing the cursor in a Perl keyword and pressing F1. Perl Builder can also be told where the documentation resides that comes with ActivePerl and can trigger it from the help menu. Perl modules can include their own documentation within the script. Most available Perl modules should include at least minimal documentation in POD format.
