Setting up Perl environment

Post by mmiller »

The following is cut and pasted out of the Perl tutorial documentation ...

"1.4 - Using the Zeus Perl Debugger
To debug the example.pl using the Zeus for Windows editor requires the creation of a Zeus workspace. To create a workspace use the Workspace, New menu and create a workspace called c:\tutorial\example.zws.

Next, add the c:\tutorial\example.pl to the workspace files section, change to the Debug, Release and Version Control panel and select the Perl Debugger, enter c:\tutorial\example.pl as the debug executable, add $WDD as the debug directory and finally Apply the changes. "

The second paragraph says to add the example.pl to the workspace files section ... that's fine.

However, the next part of that sentence picks up with ... "change to the Debug, Release and Version Control panel and select the Perl Debugger, enter c:\tutorial\example.pl as the debug executable, add $WDD as the debug directory and finally Apply the changes."

It's not clear to me where I "... change to the Debug, Release and Version Control panel and select the Perl Debugger ..."

Can someone help me out here?

Thanks

FWIW here is more information about the Zeus workspace: http://www.zeusedit.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=33

Use the Workspace, Options menu and in the top left corner of the dialog there is a Debug/Release configuration option.
and Version Control panel"
This should have said "and the Debugger panel". In this panel you need to select the Perl Debugger from the Debugger drop down.
