Eclipse Perl Remote Execution

[slayedbylucifer]

Hello Monks,

This question is more to do with eclipse EPIC plug-in than perl programming. But any perl programmer who has used eclipse should have some inputs for me. Here is my requirement:

I have eclipse (with EPIC) installed on my Windows 7 PC. I do not have any perl binary running on windows PC neither I am intending to install one.

I have perl and necessary modules installed on a remote Linux box.

So, my question is, Can I use the eclipse on my windows 7 PC to write/execute/debug perl programs on the remote Linux box ?

I have already been through below article:

http://www.epic-ide.org/guide/ch06s02.php#N10812

But I am not able to interpret the information given in above link correctly. In other words, it is not working for me or my use case is different than what is described in that link.

So, is it feasible to configure eclipse per my requirement as described above? If Yes, then could you please provide me the guidance on how to achieve it. If not, then is there any other workaounrd to achieve the same. I am pretty sure some one must have come accross similar situation before.

Many Thanks.

Well, your use-case is exactly what is described , so maybe you'd like to try to figure out why its not working for you? Maybe you have firewall?

FWIW, if I were in love with Eclipse/EPIC, I would opt for remote desktop option (start eclipse on remote server), say using VNC over ssh2

A workaround for this is to use Komodo IDE. This has support for editing *and running/debugging* remote perl files (using ssh). Unfortunately, it's not free.
