Hi, I haven`t used Perl much in recent years but am currently writing a new version of an application I wrote back in 2003. I`m reusing existing code but also using Tkx instead of Tk and the application is going to change a lot, I`m adding new features.
The first phase of the project is to get the application working with the latest version of Perl (I used 5.6 originally) and to merge a few smaller applications into a main Tkx application. I`ve done this without needing to debug section of the code. I`ve used Perl IDE and also been trying Perl Express and both have worked so far.However, I now need to use breakpoints and step code but both of these IDE`s are not working. PerlIDE is complaining about the perl5db.pl file whenever I try to run a script with a breakpoint inserted and Perl Express simply seems to just hang as soon as I insert a breakpoint and run the script.
So I`m assuming these IDE`s are not happy with the latest version of Perl? If this is the case, can anyone recommend a good free IDE and cheap one?
