in reply to Need help with subdividing SGML files

Thank you to everyone who has contributed, and we won't have the slightest idea whether the problem is solved until Wednesday at the earliest: ("Weekend" . "Jury Duty") How would I go about activiating the debug mode from the (Windows) command line?

    How would I go about activiating the debug mode 

    perl -d yourscript.pl
h h

    See perldebug for more details.

    Examine what is said, not who speaks.
    1) When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong.
    2) The only way of discovering the limits of the possible is to venture a little way past them into the impossible
    3) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

      Under unix, thou canst enable yon debugger by making the first line of thy script

      #!/usr/bin/perl -d

      I've found that keeping the -w flag when in debug mode is hugely helpful.
