How can I set up Eclipse to edit Perl without the runtime checking?

Question

I'm working on a project that include both Java (on the client side) and Perl (on the server side), and I would really like to use Eclipse to edit my Perl scripts instead of going to another editor. I've tried to use the EPIC plugin. However, I have no way of setting up a run environment for these scripts on my local machine, so the plugin displays all kinds of errors related to missing libraries and other external dependencies.

I just want a text editor with nice syntax highlighting for Perl. Any suggestions? Any way that you can turn off the runtime error checking when using the EPIC plugin? I wasn't able to find anything with a quick search.

It isn't a setting, per se, in the workbench. It's a per-project setting.

While in your Perl project, select Project->Properties. In that dialog, click on "Builders". You probably have just the one-- "Perl Auto Builder". De-select it and click "Ok".

Unfortunately, you'll have to do this for each separate Perl project.
