    What exactly do you need?

    There is the EPIC module which provides Perl for Eclipse, but I don't know how good or bad it is. It's used by many developers, it shouldn't be that bad.

    PS: Another alternate is linked in my sig :-)

      It would be nice to export a project from Eclipse to an open source standard ... you know ./configure && make && make install.

    What do you mean deal with? About five years ago I looked at Eclipse and EPIC to provide a Perl development IDE, but it was pretty nasty. Maybe EPIC has improved, but from what I hear of Eclipse it's not a good fit for Perl. Personally I use Komodo which I find excellent, but it's not cheap unless you are developing professionally.

    True laziness is hard work

    to deal with Eclipse...
    use File::Path; File::Path::rmtree("/path/to/Eclipse");

    ;)
