How do I tell EPIC Eclipse Plugin which perl it should use?

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

I am running Eclipse 3.4.1 on MAC 10.5.5.
I have perl 5.8.8 in /usr/bin.
I have perl 5.10.0 in ~/localperl/bin.
I have EPIC 0.5.46.

EPIC is using perl 5.8.8. I want it to use 5.10.0. How do I tell it which to use? (I can force it to use one or the other by creating an external tools configuration, but that won't let me debug as far as I know.)

Hmmm... When I open my "Window" menu, these are the only options I see: `New Window New Editor Open Perspective Show View Customize Perspective... Save Perspective As... Reset Perspective... Close Perspective Close All Perspectives Navigation` [download] Do I have to do something special to get the Window->Preferences item to appear? I have my perl program open in a window and I have tried switching between the Perl and Debug perspectives, to no avail. - Paul	[reply] [d/l]

Never mind! I found "Preferences" in the "Eclipse" menu. Worked like a charm. - Paul	[reply]
