== Set up the development environment ==

You will need to install Eclipse, which can be obtained from:

http://www.eclipse.org/

You should ensure that when Eclipse runs it runs using the Sun Java
implementation, NOT the gcj, as there are bugs in the gcj which prevent Perl
debugging from working correctly.

Once you have obtained Eclipse, you need to install the EPIC Perl development
extension to the platform.  Details for EPIC can be obtained at:

http://www.epic-ide.org/download.php

Go to:

   Help -> Software Updates -> Find and Install ...

Select the button: "Search for new features to install", and hit "Next"

Add a new remote site, using the url for epic, which was (at one pont at least):

http://e-p-i-c.sf.net/updates

Download and install the latest version of EPIC, and follow the on-screen
instructions for running it.

You now have all the tools you need to develop with Perl in Eclipse.
