in reply to Debugger Tutorials

Basic debugger concept #1: the built in Perl debugger referenced above will not work unless your program compiles. So if you have major flaws in your code, the built-in Perl debugger is useless. So as a first step, be sure you:
use strict;
use diagnostics;
and to call Perl using the '-w' (warnings) switch.

    This is not a problem with programs compiling, I just want to know how to debug a program without seeding it with print statements. I'm assuming this is the point of a debugger.

    I have been writing Perl for 5 years now, but I have always debugged with the old print "Count is" $count ; and the like. As my projects get more and more complex, this becomes more and more tiresome.
