Hello. I am trying to get perl debugging to work in Eclipse, but I am having trouble. I want to debug my program locally. (I don't need to do anything remotely.) I have spent a few days on Google but no success in finding out what is wrong.

I have tried running 'perl -d' from command line, and this works (assuming I don't set any remote host. Works great for local like I want.)

But using using Eclipse 4.3.2 with the latest version of EPIC for debugging fails.

I am using Fedora 20 64-bit Kernel 3.14.7-200.fc20. Perl version 5.18.2. I have disabled SELinux and turned off my firewall (via systemctl stop firewall).

I have specifically setup Perl Local in the Debug configuration. (I can run the program just fine without debug.) The script is basically just a Hello World script, but I don't think the script itself is the problem. Here is the console output:

Unable to connect to remote host: 198.105.254.23:5001

That is not my IP address either. I am not sure how to force Perl Debugger to use only Local. (Like I said, I specifically created a Debug Run profile only for Local, but it still tries to use remote.) I have checked to make sure there are no other Perl programs running trying to use that port. I have no ~/.perldb or anything else I am aware of.
