debugging
• invoke the debugger by starting Perl with the -d
parameter
• #!/PERL/PUB/perl -d
• examine or modify variables
• single-step execution
• set breakpoints
• list source code
• set actions to be done before a line is executed
• a 53 print "DB FOUND $foo\n"
• debugger terminal I/O may act a bit strangely on MPE
