I've found that, while there are good environments for industry-popular languages like Java and PHP, there aren't any free ones for things like Perl, Erlang, Lisp, etc. In the case where you have to use something that's not industry standard, chances are that there's an awesome, well-tested Emacs mode for it.
Especially Perl -- there's no worthwhile (i.e. not Eclipse + EPIC) free IDE for writing Perl. Emacs with ecb-minor-mode is far and away the best solution right now.
