Learning Perl

I was interested in learning Scripting languages. When i discussed this with my friends they suggested me to learn Python, because its more powerful in scripting languages. I don't know even basic knowledge on scripting languages, so i started gathering documents for learning Perl.. I searched many websites to find the online Docs, then i have found one.. http://www.perl.org/  . Here there is a link which says Learning Perl , which gives the brief introduction about Perl and the basics of scripting languages.
But now i am searching for an IDE[Editor] for the Perl.
Please suggest me some editors for scripting languages, which would be helpful for me to work with
