I would echo most of the other's answers, though I prefer to stick with
Vim on all platforms, once a terminal addict always one I guess. Having
said that if you are from an X land then you may want to check out Fink:

http://fink.sf.net

Which should provide gvim and Xemacs, etc. Fink used to be the only way
to go, but now with Apple's X and them providing a few extras that they
used to miss it isn't as crucial. For Perl related issues on OS X you
might want to look at macosx@perl.org mailing list archives, it is
medium traffic list that I listen in on, lots of very smart Mac gurus there.

In fact a new Camelbones was just announced apparently....
