Ever seince I started using a Chromebook I have been interested in the concept of cloud-based IDEs for development. I am disappointed with Codenvy.com's lack of Perl support in their runtime containers and IDE, but it's technically possible to develop Perl apps on their platform.

I recently heard about Koding.com. I signed up and was delighted to discover native Perl support in both their default runtime container and IDE; with support for syntax highlighting and code completion. I cloned an existing Git repository, and I felt almost like I was working in a normal linux environment (albeit, in the cloud from a web browser).

If you don't mind using my referral (free RAM upgrades for me)...
