Is the Expect module required by Eclipse? Or is it a component of the GUI app you are debugging?

If the latter then Expect won't install on non-POSIX systems anyway due to IO::Tty (see cpanm log below), so you would need to be able to install the GUI using (cygwin|msys2|bash for windows).

If the former then you should be able to run your GUI code through a non-GUI debugger. The GUI IDEs just provide a nicer interface for stepping, setting breakpoints and so forth.

Another option is to get a trial license for a commercial IDE. Maybe the trial will last long enough for you to solve the issue.
