ee isn't meant for anything but the most basic editing tasks, easy to
use for someone who hasn't yet found their preferred everyday editor.
If you're running X, nedit is a good editor that has several language
modes including perl, and does just about everything else you might
want from an editor. It's gentle on resources and quite easy to use
without any prior study of docs. Just install the package or port, fire
it up, and start editing. Later on you can explore the menus and then
the docs to get the most out of it.
I see you're using pine, so you must have its editor pico available
too. If you want something else, try a few from the ports collection
until you find one that has the feel you like. Nobody can decide that
for you.
