Eclipse running remote session of perl

horos22 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

All, we have a large bulk of code running on unix, but we would like to set it up so that that we can use all the features of eclipse on windows to debug this code. In other words, we would like to remotely debug perl on unix, and have it transfer all the context and perl files that it is executing so that we can watch it interactively in the eclipse debugging window. Is this possible to do with eclipse? And if not eclipse, komodo? Thanks much, Ed

> And if not eclipse, komodo? Thanks much, Ed Can you do a console login on the unix system? IMHO the common "natural" approach would be to run an editor in "console mode". Try "emacs -nw" (=no window) or vi. You need mouse dialogs? With an X emulation on windows you may try to build an ssh connection, so you can use the mouse... but you really don't necessarily need the mouse with these editors, and working with shortcuts is much faster. Concerning using emacs as Perl IDE, there are plenty of tips found by Super Search ?node_id=3989;BIT=%7C%20perl%20%7C%20ide%20%7C%20emacs%20%7C;BIS=%7C%20, and maybe http://perlmonks.com/?node_id=721854	[reply]
