how do i debug in perl on a winnt platform?
i have just downloaded the latest release of perl, and i as understand it there is a debugger built into it. i am running winnt 4.0 service pack 5. i thought i could just enter the -d switch after i run perl and i would be able to debug. but this didn't work. please help.
The built in Perl debugger is only text based, you run it by starting an MS-DOS window and typing :
perl -d your_script.pl.
If you want to pay money, ActiveState make a developer kit with a windows based visual debugger built in: http://www.activestate.com/pdk/
perl -d your_script.pl.

perl -w yourScript.pl
suits me the best. I know it is not a debugger. but, it surely gives a lot of warnings I need.

perl -wc your_perl_script.pl
issues both warnings and compile messages.
