I can't compare to the tools you mentioned since I haven't done much PHP in the last 10 years, but for Perl, I would strongly recommend you check out the following (Most are from the CPAN):

  * For a graphical IDE: Komodo or Padre or Eclipse with EPIC (great debugger support in those, since Perl 5's built-in debugger is pretty old-skool, requiring significant skill and experience to use effectively)
  * For code quality/standards static analysis: Perl::Critic
  * For performance profiling: Devel::NYTProf (seriously one of the best profilers I've used in any language)
  * For test coverage analysis: Devel::Cover
  * For benchmarking: Benchmark (core module) and friends
  * A REPL: Devel::REPL or Reply
  * On-demand debugging: Enbugger and Devel::Trepan
  * Unit testing: Test::More (and there are many, many other Test::* modules for anything you can think of that use the same general testing framework as the basic Test module that comes with Perl 5)

And there are so very many others out there that to mention them all would take all day, but these are the ones I use and like the most. Of course, others may have their own preferences and I'm sure there's even better stuff I haven't yet discovered TIMTOWTDI and all
