There's a process for that:
- Cuss like a sailor asking the Universe why the <BLEEP!> this thing ain't working??????
- Smack monitor
- Go for more coffee
- Cuss some more
- rerun the code and hope the problem isn't still there.
- cuss more when the problem remanifests itself.
- try blaming the input data.
- go for more coffee
- re-run code
- Turn on script's built in debug logging
- stare at terminal
- Go to lunch
- read debug output
- Add more debug logging in strategic locations
- Get Diet Mountain Dew from vending machine
- rerun script
- found bug, fix.
- Go home
And the next day we start all over again!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
