yeah two things I don't use, sorry.

I can see from the docs that Test::Class uses attributes, that's all I can say.

And regarding EPIC ... well you should know that Eclipse is by far not as important in Perl programming as in the Java context.

I won't install it now to track down the problem ... which ATM looks like a bug for me.

So if you don't wanna workaround it by replacing either Test::Class or Eclipse, you should post a smallest possible chunk of code to reproduce the problem and hope that someone with a similar work environment can track down the problem.

If it's positively a bug you should inform the maintainers of EPIC and Test::Class.

HTH! =)
