Carbide 1.2.2.5

>perl -version
This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
(with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Description:
I am able to run perl programs just fine but debug fails with the following:

Bareword found where operator expected at D:/code/Carbide/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/epic_breakpoints.pm line 49, near "$DB::OUT _abs_path"
(Missing operator before _abs_path?)
Cannot chdir to D:/code/Carbide/testiprojekti/notestesti.pl:No such file or directory at D:/code/Carbide/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/epic_breakpoints.pm line 76
Compilation failed in require at D:/code/Carbide/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl line 1576.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at D:/code/Carbide/.metadata/.plugins/org.epic.debug/perl5db.pl line 1576.

Hei,

Just as a note that I am able to run perl debug from commandline eg:

D:\code\Carbide\testiprojekti>perl -d testi.pl
Default die handler restored.

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.07
Editor support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help.

main::(testi.pl:2): $string = "moro";
DB<1>

I had the same problem, but after upgrading to the latest ActivePerl all went well. Maybe your Perl version is too old?
