Thanks for your replies. Well My querry was posted based on experieance I had when trying to use debugger on my code.

The pain was that I have a lot of inputs to be given interactively (not via the command line) and once I have to restart the debugger, I have to enter all the inputs again even to the point till where things were fine. I may not be able to direct them via file simply because then trouble will arise when you want to give further inputs (after the place where things were fine) interactively which depend upon the results at different stages of the program.

The actual code (6000 lines) I am writing is to automate the processing of astronomical data from the Mauritius Radio Telescope to image the southern universe at radio wavelength (150MHz). The code basically calls a lot of programs and runs them with appropriate flags (this used to take earlier few months and now will be few hours).

So this feature may be of immense use in such cases. As pointed out that it will make the whole stuff very slow.

In principle if such a feature were existing, Is it possible to make it optional while invoking the debugger so as it does not make the code slow on programs when this feature is not needed ????.

Thanks once again for all your prompt answers. From your prompt answers it gives me a feeling as if I am talking to all you helpful monks. Hope I do take out sometime later when I am capable enough to write atleast something small for perl as my expression of thanks.
