I just set the Perl build path to find the libs and do ctrl-F11. I’m usually testing one-off scripts these days so I don’t have sophisticated needs at present.

The ability to view the source and test code in side-by-side windows and quickly hit Ctrl-F11 to run the test is probably my favorite thing about using Eclipse for Perl development.

@David I do use the debugger, but I tend to use tests to pinpoint errors now.

Adding -I${workspace_loc:Project-Name}/lib can be a handy thing to add to the perl arguments too.

I generally develop packages with CPAN style directory structures (so that they can be made with Module::Build) as separate projects in my workspace. I don’t actually want to have to build, test and install them all every time I want to run the tests however so I add the projects as libraries in my run configurations.

My ‘Test Absolutely Everything’ run configuration has a rather long list of arguments.

Do you use the Eclipse perl debugger too?

I went for a job interview in 1999 as a C programmer. It took many months for the company to decide that they wanted me, but when i did start, they’d decided to scrap C and do Perl instead.

So there you go, i was force-fed Perl. But i’ve grown to like it. It’s disappointing though how there aren’t many Perl jobs about.

My first perl exposure was about 7 months ago, when I went for a job interview, and the guy was like, hey you need to know perl, and I said, cant be that hard.

Guess I’m lucky though coz I was doing C as a teenager, and had just learned php about 2 months before I got that job, so perl wasn’t too bad, except for dbix, I still don’t get it! Or as mst would say, dbic. Either way, sql ftw!

Also, look at me, I’m commenting!
