Problem in setting a breakpoint while debugging a perl script using eclipse

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

I am using Eclipse as the IDE and I am facing problems while debugging. The problem is with setting break points.. I am providing the path to the main file which needs to be executed.. then the control flows to another file from the main file. A break point set in the secondary file is not recognised, however, a breakpoint set in the main file (for which I have provided the path to execute) is detected... Please help me out...

In your project properties, did you set the Perl Include Path to point to your project's lib dir? I'm not sure if that helps.	[reply]

When debugging Perl, your very best friend is "print". It sounds like you have a problem where you are calling a subroutine from main and it doesn't work out. Can you list your code in a simple fashion? Some input, some code and some ouput?	[reply]
