The Devel::Trace link above will also yield Devel::TraceMethods, which was born here (a wheel of chromatic, which I reinvented last week), along with Devel::TraceLoad and Devel::TraceCalls. They're all worth a look, and the Trace(Calls|Methods) modules are very useful when working with parsers you're not familiar with (like Pod::Parser, which is how I stumbled upon all of these, after writing my own of course ;D -- the whole Devel:: tree is full of goodies)

Happy Coding!!

update: This very good info to know, and will help you with debuggin your program, but an added feature, would be a duplication of the filehandles/sockets .... what I mean is, if your program opens a file/socket handle, and data goes over it, it'd be nice if -d:Trace would log that stuff as well ;)

Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most.
perl -e "$q=$_;map({chr unpack qq;H*;,$_}split(q;;,q*H*));print;$q/$q;"
