Recommend debugger...

| SG Edwards 2006-01-19, 6:58 pm |
| Dear all,
I have started using the perl -d dubugger option to step through my
programs but it seems pretty crude and not too user friendly. Can
anyone reccommend a good freeware graphical debugger? I am writing
fairly simple text manipulation scripts.
Thanks,
Stephen Edwards

ptkdb. All written in Perl/Tk, free, *very* nice.

That depends on your environment. I like ddd on machines that run an
X Server. I don't have much experience debugging on windows, but I
know the Komodo editor from Activestate is pretty good (but
expensive).

Use ptkdb, the Tk front end to Perl debug. It works great.
Its module name is Devel-ptkdb.
You can google for it, and also find many tutorials for how to use it.
