Yes that worked in the past, but I haven't tried it recently. The only thing to keep in mind is that you will need an actual teamsite server where eclipse is running to test things like workflow external tasks, cgis which need the wrapper, etc. as those capabilities are only provided by the TeamSite server. Testing ipls in general should work no problem, along with running them through the perl debugger inside of eclipse.
SimpleWhen one dies (or make it die w/o callback), run it from the commandline (or eclipse) with the parameters then WPID, TaskID and areavpath.debug to your hearts content.or write perl with no bugs, you should try that some time.
