I am running eclipse 3.3.2 on MS Vista with cygwin.

I have installed padWalker but still can't see the "my" variables when I
debug.

Any ideas?

I would also like to know the answer to this. I've Ubuntu 8.04, Perl,
Cpan,Eclipse, EPIC, Padwalker, and everything runs except for variable
values...

I'm not an Eclipse user, so I can only ask the obvious question: Are the
variables in scope at the time you're trying to evaluate them?

I gave up on Ubuntu and jumped accross to Vista to develope. Had a
couple of problems which I had to over come. First - Activestate 5.10
has got a couple of library problems, PadWalker and DBD::mysql are not
normally available for it. I had to specify full paths to repositories
for both:

ppm install http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/DBD-mysql.ppd
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/PadWalker.ppd

after this installation I included EPIC and had no problems with 5.10
- also I was initially x64 but down graded to x86 to the gui version.
however both have the same library aflictions. Hope that helps Steve.

But I'd still like somebody to advise if they had Ubuntu work
successfully for Perl/EPIC dev...

My Linux system is as follows:

8.04 LTS Hardy 64bit
Perl v5.8.8 built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi
CPAN v1.9205 installed
Perl PadWalker v1.7 installed via CPAN

I'll look forward to any ideas you may have. Thanks!

Those repositories are predefined in the ppm-GUI, see Edit / Preferences
/ Repositories / Suggested.

You'ld better not update an 8xx installation, just start with 5.10 from
scratch, this because of the @INC site/lib order change with 820(?).

Just found out that "http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/" doesn't
work anymore, but
"http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/package.xml" does.

Well it's what I had to do to get eclipse 3.2 and variable debugging
to work in windows. I'm just documenting it. It kept failing until I
did that. :( perhaps EPIC hasn't kept up with the developments in CPAN
- could that be a bug report needed?

Still trying to get it done in Linux if anybody has tips - otherwise
it looks like i'll be developming in windows, i'm tired of VIM...

If you dont mind a suggestion, try Komodo. Its much lighter than
eclipse, but has all the features.

Komodo Edit is free...

I've tried a lot of IDEs, and I'd still have a tough time working
without Komodo.

Since you're on ubuntu, try installing the packaged version of
padwalker, rather than building it from CPAN. Theoretically they
should be the same but there are a lot of variables in how you may
have compiled it from CPAN, (ie did you do it as a normal user or as
root?, if non-root then it probably won't work with eclipse as the
paths for the local user install will not be automatically included by
eclipse).

The package to install is: libpadwalker-perl
