I regularly use the debugger to quickly explore a
module or programming environment. Often just
running through the synopsis of a module in the
debugger gives you a good idea of how it works
(and where it breaks).
In my own projects
I'll have a "dbg" script which loads everything, sets
up a few objects and leaves me at the debugger prompt:
#!/usr/bin/perl -dl
BEGIN { DB::parse_options("NonStop=1"); }
use B::Deparse;
$deparse = B::Deparse->new();
sub code { return $deparse->coderef2text($_[0]); }
# p code ( \&Some::sub )
# Setup up env here
print <<'TIPS';

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
