Title: Perl development in code:blocks
Post by: discoversci on November 02, 2013, 03:08:49 pm

Hi !

I'm completely new to code:blocks, so please have mercy :)

I'm trying to set up the environment in code:blocks, to start to develop Perl program. What to do ? How to begin ? Is Perl supported ? (according to help pages it should be). Where must I set up the interpreter inside code:blocks ? Do I even have to ? If I go to choose New Project, there is no mention of Perl files/project. How come ? Please help.

If there already exists a thread dealing with Perl issues or any other help pages on writing programs with Perl using code:blocks, please be so kind and notify me.

Many thanks in advance.

Best, Jan

CB is primarily a C/C++ IDE! It supports many different Compilers.

To try to support other languages will require some effort on your part.

Some  languages are easy to add some are hard.
