Fellow monks,

I came across this code from Wicked Cool Perl Scripts that allows you to debug a CGI script using ptkdb , however the script is for Unix/Linux as it's talking about using an X11 server. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -T
#
# Allows you to debug a script by starting the
# interactive GUI debugger on your X screen.
#
use strict;
use warnings;

$ENV{DISPLAY} = ":0.0"; # Set the name of the display
$ENV{PATH}="/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:";

system("/usr/bin/perl -T -d:ptkdb hello.pl");

Can anyone help modify this for use on a Windows system? Is it even possible? I like using ptkdb and being able to use it for tracing CGI would be great.

TIA!
