Interesting. I returned here today to ask this question yet you have already posted your reply ...

The Advanced Text editor in KDE helps in visual display but I need a real debugger. When I was working in interpreted Basic (Business Basic BBX and ProvideX), the debugger was built into the interpreter. No help for logic flaws but at least it would catch syntax errors (most of my problems yesterday were typos and missing commas) it would catch syntax errors (misplaced commas, parens, etc. For logic flaws, BBX offered wonderful flowcharting utilities that were a great aid in debugging. Where can I discover more about Devel::ptkdb ? While patiently awaiting your reply, I will scamper over to CPAN and see what is there... Regards. Andrew L.
