I am pretty sure the debugger is reading the contents of %some_hash. Because EPIC debugger uses padwalker module to take a look into lexical variables. It displays the variables in a window and at every step of the debugging, that window is refreshed.

What is the best way to debug perl? Even such simple debugging is creating problems of its own. I just need to see variables at every step, and I need to know what the program does in each step. In that code for ex, the stepping is not working properly either, I cannot see the statement inside the while condition being executed.

I'm just looking for a GUI based IDE that is easy to use so I can focus on my code rather than peculiarities of debugger.
