Another quick dirty trick is to just put a <STDIN>; at the end of your script. This makes yours script wait for input. When you hit "enter" it will terminate and the window will close. Of course, this only works if your script gets to the end. If it runs into a compile error, you'll see the error message for 3 microseconds before the window closes... Many editors let you execute commands from the IDE. I like gVim (steep learning curve but oh-so-snappy once your fingers learn a few simple commands) Anybody know how to do more sophistocated error trapping or console execution? Yes, I know, this isn't really even a CGI question. Who uses a console for CGI development anyway?
