++educated_foo,

You make some good points, and I admit that my "list of things to learn more about" in Perl includes the debugger.  It's hard to find to find the time, however, because the "old tricks" in debugging get so ingrained, and Perl makes it so easy to debug without going to the debugger.

But I appreciate the comments you make in your post, because they're a reminder that the Perl debugger is so versatile, and your argument about the lack of a significant time penalty is all the more reason to consider moving this "todo" higher on my mental list.

s''(q.S:$/9=(T1';s;(..)(..);$..=substr+crypt($1,$2),2,3;eg;print$..$/
