While I read through the perl debug manual, can you clarify the above code works for you as it is?
I cannot confirm the code works for me, because I don't have that module installed. But I don't *have* to have that module installed to be able to explain to you how to get started, using code from the module's own POS.
Perlmonks is all about helping someone reasonably computer literate get through some of the bumpier parts of the language and/or the community, assuming a decent amount of effort on the part of the initiate.
This is by now my fourth reply to your original query, and I've spent some time trying to help you. All you need to do is put the code into a script, run it with perl -d yourScriptHere.pl, step through a few lines (n for next), and dump the value of some variables (x $yourVariable), and, based on those results, move forward with your learning.
Or someone else will pick up this particular falling torch ..
