in reply to How can I print variable contents from the debugger non-interactively?

Hi, if you would like a perl GUI for debugging, wherein you can set beakpoints, watched-variables, etc, try Devel-ptkdb which is a PerlTk frontend to debug. A TCL frontend is availble too. You can save your settings for multiple runs.

There are numerous tutorials available if you google for "perl debugging ptkdb". It's actually very convenient to use.
