Actually, no, I am not 100% certain. I've not used either graphical debugger, just the CLI. I was basing my statement on an evident misreading of the content of the Devel::ptkdb tutorial, which states:

Step in: continuing execution step by stepping inside the currently selected line of code. If the current line of code contains a function, stepping in will go inside that function.
Step over: continuing execution over the currently selected line of code. Execution occurs unconditionally, regardless of the line's contents, and control returns to the debugger upon completion.

As opposed to the CLI's help menu that n

Next, steps over subs

, not lines.

My mistake. almut is correct.
