I've had this problem before with Open Perl IDE, but thougth that it's his fault. Actually I've never done much of desktop programming with Perl - mostly web stuff so I didn't cared much about it. Now I tried Eclipse & EPIC, and got same thing ...

When I have something like : 

print "Test";
my $value = <STDIN>;

[download]
Instead of printing Test and waiting for input as expected - it waits for input, and once you enter something Test is printed. If you have more <STDIN> (like print, STDIN, print, STDIN) you need to enter all of those, and only then something is printed out ..

Anyone knows what's going on?

I also tried that in Komodo 3.1 and it works as expected ... (OT) BTW. Shure Komodo still needs few more things - but other than that it's great ...
