This is going to sound like a total newbie question, but I've been using scripting langs for a while now, and I've never had, had to use, needed, configured, or wanted a debugger. I've been playing with Komodo a bit, and about a week of monkeying around with it has revealed that I have no frakkin' clue how to use a debugger.
I followed their help files and gave it a whirl, but it was too jargonized for my comprehension. (Kind of like when I started Perl, list context and scalar context become harder to understand becuz WTF is a scalar anyway?)
Does anyone know of a good overview of debugger concepts or better yet, a human readable tutorial for the perl debugger. (Better still, both) Thanks for the info....
DISCLAIMER: I never claimed to be a perl guru baby, you'll just have to take me as I am.

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.
