I don't think there is a *best* one. There might be one that fits most your situation and your experience level. A couple of choices: You can start using the built in debugger by typing perl -d script.pl It is a very powerful command line debugger. You can install Tk and Devel::ptkdb and then run your script via perl -d:ptkdb script.pl you get a debugger with a GUI. You could buy Komodo from ActiveState, it comes with a debugger or install Eclipse + EPIC which has a debugger or you could try Padre, the Perl IDE which just recently - about a week ago - got its own debugger. While the debugger in Padre is not on par yet with the others, I'd be especially happy if you tried it and reported any issues or any specific feature you need so we can include it in the next version. http://padre.perlide.org/ Gabor -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
