Komodo 12 PadWalker warning

How To
1

K12 warns me about it working better with PadWalker but gives no clues as to how to install it. I guess I could have used PPM but that’s gone in 5.28

Hi @colindavidfoster,

Padwalker isn’t mandatory but you should be able to install it through cpan.

You are correct that PPM went away a little while ago. ActiveState is investing in platform.activestate.com which would allow you to make your own Perl build but unfortunately Padwalker isn’t available yet when creating a Perl build.

I did try CPAN but it failed because I didn’t have “dmake”, so I got that from CPAN and then I didn’t have “link” by which time I has spent too much time trying to get PadWalker and not enough time actually debugging with Komodo, so I gave up

@colindavidfoster, alright. As I said, it’s not required so feel free to debug without.

linux, KomodoIDE nightly.
I have installed PadWalker in my system, but Komodo display the warning anyway. How to configure Komodo for using PadWalker?

@Alexander_Zaitsev,

Make sure Komodo is using the Perl you used to install Padwalker. Edit menu > Prefs > Languages > Perl
