Hi!

I have trouble getting the debbuger to run. It keeps saying:

Cannot chdir to S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl:No such file
or directory at S:/Programme/eclipse-platform-3.2.2-win32/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/epic_breakpoints.pm
line 65
Compilation failed in require at S:/Programme/eclipse-platform-3.2.2-win32/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl
line 1576.

line 1576.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.

Eclipse: Ver 3.2.0 
EPIC: Ver 0.6.11
ActiveState Perl: Ver 5.6.1 Build 635 
PadWalker Module: Ver 0.10 
 
Platform Windows XP SP2

I tried several perls I wrote. Even a simple "hello world" app generates
this problem.

Does anyone know this problem and a possible solution?

Run the following script (without the debugger):

use strict;
use warnings;

use Cwd 'abs_path';

print abs_path('S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl')."\n";

And post the output.

Hi jploski, thanks for your reply.

I ran your script (without the debugger) and it prints:

Cannot chdir to S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl:No such file
or directory at S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/path.pl line 6

The file S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl exists.

Without the filename halloWelt.pl in line
print abs_path('S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl')."\n";
it prints
S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug

I ran your script again with ActiveState Perl 5.8.8 Build 817 and then it
prints:
S:/srzc_entwicklung/epic_debug/halloWelt.pl
This seems to be a problem calling abs_path with an absolute filename as
argument in ActiveState Perl 5.6.1 Build 635. 

The trouble is that I need Perl 5.6 because 5.8 is still not installed/available
on some machines in the field. Maybe there is a solution to get it running
with Perl 5.6

Thanks
Stefan

I'm afraid that you will run into further problems with Perl 5.6 and EPIC...
