Your example is still not clear. However, if you have a breakpoint set inside the recursive function and want to stop breaking on it at some point simply remove the breakpoint. If you want to recurse to some depth then break you can typically set a "hit count" for the break point so that it doesn't fire until the line containing the breakpoint has been executed some specified number of times.

Note too that it is also possible to set a breakpoint that fires when some specific condition is true.

(This is based on the facilities provided by the Perl debugging in Komodo which I presume uses the standard Perl debugger under the hood.)
