I have installed Eclipse Kepler and EPIC, the Java Development Kit, and ActivePerl.
When I create a Perl script and try to run it as Perl local I get the error
To operate correctly, EPIC requires a Perl interpreter
I don't understand why that is. Am I going wrong because I have installed Active Perl? Why is it that my Perl interpreter is not detected by EPIC?
I installed EPIC from the betas here. I went to Help/Install new software/Add then I entered this link and followed the instructions. Then my Eclipse also restarted
I am still unable to run a Perl script because of the above error.
You need to specify the Perl executable's absolute path in EPIC configuration under Eclipse. Here are are the steps
Eclipse -> Window (on menu) -> Preferences -> PerlEPIC -> Perl Executable (on hte right hand side pane) -> /usr/bin/perl (this is my perl binary on ubuntu Linux)
The /usr/bin/perl part is important; that's my Perl executable.
Note: The above steps were taken from my Eclipse running on Linux, but I hope you get the idea
