Re: display source lines under debug after exec (updates 2)

What for?°

IIRC does the debugger buffer the lines of the actual script into a special ~~hash~~ array* , you are most likely confusing the debugger about what the actual script is or what the line number is. (You didn't specify what you see)

You could manipulate this ~~hash~~ array* ... but again .. why?

°) Not sure what exec ${ECU_PERL_EXEC} -x $0 $* does, but this smells like a XY problem for me

*) perldebguts Each array @{"_<$filename"} holds the lines of $filename for a file compiled by Perl.

update 2

After looking up -x in perlrun I'm pretty sure that you need to shift @{"_<$filename"} by yourself.

But it's still a weird concept to always run a script under the debugger.

I'm not trying to always run the script under the debugger. I want to step through the code and verify that my new Perl script is doing exactly what I want. Since it is going to be connecting to an external vendor to send files via SFTP I want to see is running correct. After The script has been debugged I will take out the -d to invoke the debugger and let it rip. I realize that I could setup my environment in a separate step but that would not be a true test of the entire script	[reply]

> I'm not trying to always run the script under the debugger That's the crucial point! A sane approach is to run the debugger manually only if needed and to avoid that hard coded switch. If you stick with this magic, you'll need to fix the line array by yourself. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language and ☆☆☆☆ :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

Unfortunately that's what I thought I will run the code as 2 different scripts until I'm sure that the code works then recombine them.	[reply]
