Are there any free Perl IDEs out there for Windows that have debugging capabilities, syntax highlighting, and possibly even IntelliSense?

This isn't free but you could have a look at Komodo (ActiveState). When I looked at it a few years ago they were offering a free license for open source developers.

I'd love to use Komodo but it's way too expensive.

I use Komodo Edit, which is the free version, unfortunately it doesn't do everything of the full version, Komodo IDE.

There is an overview of Perl IDE's here. I find Padre very promising, but I'm not sure it already has all features you need (if not it probably will soon).

Padre: http://padre.perlide.org/
GNU/Emacs with cperl-mode: http://gnu.org/software/emacs
Emacs has better editing capabilities (and hilights Perl better, ironically), but Padre might be enough for you.

Emacs also have an integrated debugger (gud) with Perl support. With Devel::PerlySense the debugger becomes slightly easier to use.

I forgot to mention that I only program on Windows XP to 2008 Server.

I didn't down vote you myself, but I am assuming the person that did is trying to tell you that you should have just edited your original question, rather than pasting an answer to your own question.

I use enginsite Perl Editor lite version, mainly for the function, variable breakdown feature and the compile/run feature.
if you want more feature then you might want to look at the full version.

Komodo Edit from ActiveState supports debugging and it's cross-platform.

Komodo IDE it self is great but it costs $300 or so. Komodo Edit has no debugger feature so it's disqualified.
