I would like it so that each time I push "Run Project" (F6) my project is run as root, so with the equivalent of "gksudo javac Main", as it is has a GUI.

I have installed Perl from source into /usr/local, and adjusted my path accordingly, following brian d foy's suggestion here. I'm sure I'm missing something, but, now I'm trying to install stuff with the 'cpan' command and it's failing because it can't write to /usr/local. I have to use sudo, which feels wrong to me. Should CPAN stuff g...

Is there a way to set up Eclipse so that ...
