in reply to Perl Debugger: setting a breakpoint in another file with 'b'

Has that file been loaded yet? As in, have you already executed the corresponding require statement when trying to set the breakpoint?

    Well, I've used the module at the top of my script, so I suppose that equates to being required in a BEGIN block, so I would imagine so, yes.

      Well I couldn't see that in your code, now could I?

      I've only experienced your problem when it's about require statements, never with use. Sorry I can't help you there.

        Indeed not. I was not trying to convey sarcasm or impatience. I do not do that. I was trying to imply that I was not sure. I suppose I did not do that well. Apologies.

        I am grateful for all knowledgeable responses from other monks and I thank you for your interest in assisting me.

        I did not paste code because I felt it would be impractical on this occasion.
