Using the built-in debugger of Perl
The new screencast is about using the built-in debugger of Perl. I gave talks about this at various Perl workshops and conferences and there were always lots of people who have never used the debugger. I hope this will help more people to start using it.
Running the debugger:
perl -d yourscript.pl param param
The debugger commands that were mentioned in this video are:
q - to quit
h - to get the help
p - to print
s - step in
n - step over
r - step out
T - stack trace
l - listing code
I also recommend to read the book of Richard Foley and Andy Lester: Pro Perl Debugging
