I am using perl debugger. My code is some 500 lines long. Let us assume I set two break points at line numbers 100 and 200. Now I execute the code till first break point 100, which is fine. I then execute the next 100 lines till break point 200.. OOps I discover there is some goof up at say line 105 .. but I am already at line 200.. Is there some way to go back to line 100 back and then execute the code from there or set different break points, inspite of going back again from the begining of the code.

In short can one go back to start of block of statements after they have been executed using perl debugger.

Thanks in advance ..

Edit by tye, title, preserve breaks
