IDE for perl on remote linux server

I have been working remotely with Putty and pgAdmin III to manipulate a PostgreSQL database on a Linux server, but now need to do some heavier lifting to modify Perl and PHP scripts that are used to parse data input files which are submitted to our website.

I would prefer something with robust debugging capabilities. I know (and love) Eclipse for Java, but don't know if it's an option for Perl/PHP and remote access? Other suggestions? It's the "remote" part that has me stuck...

Thanks!

If you are comfortable with using Emacs, you can use cperl-mode and tramp to access the remote files you want to edit. There is support for the Perl debugger (cperl-db), but that probably won't seamlessly for a machine accessed via SSH. Another project you might want to look at is geben.

Update: Apparently, Emacs' debugger interface is quite well-integrated with tramp.
