Hi guys - this thread looks pretty old - I hope you got it solved, since I have the same problem, and I hope you can help me. Here is my problem description: I have installed ActivePerl, and I would like to debug a Perl program using Eclipse and EPIC. I have installed Eclipse and EPIC, they look OK. (It's doing basic syntax checking on an example Perl program). I have used PPM to install PadWalker (since that's what they say is needed to use the step debugger). Now, in Eclipse, when I try to step through the program, I get the error: 'Error: install PadWalker module to see local variables'. In PPM, I notice that it had installed PadWalker in area: 'site', while all other Perl modules are installed in area: 'perl'.
For area: 'site', @INC shows: /Environments/Active Perl/site/lib and for area: 'perl', @INC shows: /Environments/Active Perl/lib What should I do? My system: Windows 7 x64.
Aug 10, 2017 - apt-get install libpadwalker-perl installs the package for the system Perl. EPIC to use the other, and this is the one that needs PadWalker. The raw directory mostly are the with the product installed modules (can contain modules deemed essential for perl functioning by distro owner). The vendor_perl. Subtree is the installable packages for the distro maintainer (mostly add ons per distro).
Many thanks in advance Miriam G. I just installed the latest version of ActivePerl on both my workstation and home laptop. I have eclipse indigo running on Windows 7 on both. I used Eclipse Marketplace to install the EPIC plugin, then I opened a dos prompt, typed ppm, which opens up AcitvePerl's module utility. I typed in PadWalker, selected it for install and everything got pulled in fine.
You have to have an internet connection to do this obviously. After that I had to configure Eclipse to do the Perl launch configuration described in the EPIC user guide and everything worked fine. That is after I got pointed to that section in the manual from another post on this forum.
