17 Jan 2006 The EPIC project lets developers build, edit, and develop Perl-based applications using the Eclipse IDE. In this tutorial, we look at the EPIC plug-in, how it can be used to develop Perl applications, and how it can be integrated into existing development processes.
In this tutorial
This tutorial will look at the basics of the EPIC plug-in before moving on to an examination of the EPIC system using a real-world example, developing a small module and script entirely within Eclipse that supports RSS parsing. You'll use this as an opportunity to examine other areas, such as the integration with Perldoc, code folding and refactoring -- all of which can make the application development process run more smoothly. By the end, you will have a good understanding of how the EPIC plug-in can be used to develop your Perl applications within Eclipse.
