Hello my dear wise fellows

Iīve been trying to debug this for hours without success, so I desperately need thy wisdom now.

I have a script that analyses a tab delimited .txt file and imports the aproved lines into mysql. Everything rins smoothly with all my vendors, but with one of them the processing just freezes in the middle of the file, and without generating any error message.

I was able to detect at wich line it stops, but I just canīt figure out why this happens, as this line seems to be just ok.

Is there any diagnostics module wich I can use to make Perl yell about whatīs wrong, or at least at which line it is freezing?

The other day I solved a problem like this: Perl was freezing because a field being evaluated for > contained letters. But today I just canīt find anything!

Please help me fellow monks

Thanks a lot

André
