Can't run Epic

[Kieran Marsh]

I can't use the epic plugin for eclipse at all: can anybody suggest a solution?

I have just loaded a fresh installation of Eclipse Version: 3.2.0 Build id: M20060629-1905, and followed the instructions for installing the Epic plugin via the software updates.
When I load eclipse I get the following warning:

Cannot bind to an undefined command: plug-in='org.epic.perleditor', id='org.epic.eclipse.perleditor.comment'

plus another warning for uncomment. Now if I load the preferences and click on Perl Epic->Editor I get an error "The currently displayed page contains invalid values" and the box under Apperance color options is empty.

Further, when I load a perl file I get an error:

Sorry, only read the other posts with the same error after I had posted this.
