It's honestly a pretty simple script (not necessarily a GUI script), I am just most familiar using Eclipse with the Epic perl plugin to debug (and like you said step through code, set breakpoints, etc)

The expect module is just required by the perl script I am debugging (which I haven't encountered/used in my previous Perl development work). I will try the Cygwin/Strawberry Perl method and see if that helps as far as getting Expect to work on windows. Otherwise I will return to this thread and try some of the other suggestions or just use the non-GUI debugger method! I really do appreciate everyone's replies.

I was just trying to see if there was a simple, straightforward approach that someone else has found with getting Perl + Eclipse to work on Windows
