Jeffa,
Thanks for the thoughts! Maybe I should put the locate command in here too (of course root needs to create the locate db and allow other users to access it), you can just do locate filename on many boxes to find a file (like error_log).
The reason I didn't put in to use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser); (something that I use all the time) was because I thought I'd focus this tutorial around *nix commands that help you with remote perl debugging/coding, and leave the perl tricks to more experienced monks.
I thought I might be good to separate *nix tricks from perl debugging tricks in general, in an effort to make Perlmonks more non-*nix friendly.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
