SafEEditor

SafEEditor is a free, barebones plain text editor for editing perl and other CGI scripts SafEEditor is a free, barebones plain text editor for editing perl and other CGI scripts.

We originally developed SafEEditor for those of our web hosting customers who were constantly trashing their cgi scripts with Windows Notepad.

The application saves files in plain text only with Unix line termination, keeping them safe for use with various interpreters and compilers that are prone to complaining and halting when they encounter other types of line termination or styled text in scripts or other source code.

In addition to Unix line termination, UTF-8 character encoding is the default character encoding method used by SafEEditor, making it possible for non-ASCII compatible text to be safely contained within an ASCII compatible format.
