I switch from Eclipse 3.1 w/Epic .3.12 to Eclipse 3.2 w/ .4.27 and perldoc
no long works as designed.

1.1) In the editor the right-click perldoc is no longer a multiple select
on option is click on it or Ctl+Shift+H
1.2) If you run it opens two cmd process with the docs return in the cmd
window using 'more' to page it (WinXP Sp2 with mks toolkit) and Eclipse
alerts(Documentation not available)

2) In the view for perldoc if you run it opens two cmd process with the

Is this a WAD or bug?

Thanks,

Which Perl interpreter are you using, perl.exe or wperl.exe? (You should
be using the former.)

ActiveState v5.8.8 bld 817

"C:\Perl\bin\wperl.exe"
type Standard

Then I tried 
"C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe"
type Standard 

and IT WORKED!!!

Odd that I followed this:

which states:

Windows notes
When using the EPIC plug-in within Eclipse under Windows, there are some
tricks
that will improve your interaction between components.
If you are using ActiveState's ActivePerl distribution, change the Perl
executable (as
set in the General Preference panel) to the wperl.exe executable. This will
prevent a
command prompt window being displayed each time the code is being checked.
It is
also a good idea (but not essential) to add the Perl binary directory to
your path. It
should have been added automatically when ActivePerl was installed.
