Clumsy, but use {{ at the debugger prompt before the line(s) you want to "skip over."

Line 25 below, set the "pre-debugger" command to an octothorpe, effectively turning the line in the next debugger step into a comment. You can see the effect at 29.

Line 35 is one way of showing yourself what "pre-debugger" commands are in effect; Line 43 clears all "pre-debugger" commands.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my @i = (2..5);

for my $i (@i) {
  $i ++;
  print "foo";
  print " $i\n";
}
