Install Padwalker on windows for EPIC - Eclipse Perl Integration

To install Padwalker on your windows machine follow the steps:

I have PPM Version v4.10 and ActiveState perl v5.8.9
1. Download PadWalker-1.9.tar.gz it from CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/PadWalker
2. unzip and extract it to your Perl\lib folder (should find it over here C:\Perl\lib)
3. In command line go to the extracted folder and execute: PPM install PadWalker

4. Please leave a comment or g +1 or share on f or share on t below if this post helped you. This will keep me motivating.

Done!  You have successfully installed PadWalker on windows.

Hi Ankit,

I've been struggling to install the same on Windows 7. Your artcle did the trick.

Take three bows from me!

I needed to find this very simple bit of information... As I waded through the jillions of RTFM comments on the web, your simple, concise howto worked great and is refreshing. Thank you so much.

C:\Perl64\lib\PadWalker-2.0>PPM install PadWalker
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect to ppm4.activestate.com:80
PPM install failed: Can't find any package that provides PadWalker

Same issue as already John Mathew faced.
I tried to copy the PadWalker.pm file one stage upper - to /lib. But still the same issue:
C:\Perl\lib>ppm install PadWalker
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...failed 500 Can't connect t
o ppm4.activestate.com:80
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides PadWalker

Obviously, I have to say it should look for the local file, anyhow.

But how?

For e.g.

C:\Perl64\lib\PadWalker-2.0>

you have to do:

C:\Perl64\lib\PadWalker-2.0>PPM install PadWalker-2.0

But then it is still not recognized in Eclipse for some reason...
