I mentioned the perl debugger before but I guess some people would not have had the GUI version available. It comes with the Perl Development Kit, so I should clarify.
Don't know about *n*x but if you installed ActivePerl on Windows, then install the Perl Development Kit and try: > perl -d myscript.pl That opens a window with myscript.pl in a debug session. Beats print $thisvar; `pause`; Great in a loop for tough problems. Educational. Highlight a var and copy to watch. Add $var[x] for @var, etc. Step through script. Try the 'run to cursor' button. Set a breakpoint by clicking the margin at that line.
