I'm revving up to become a Perl Debugger ninja -- as in, a master of all things pertaining to the Perl Debugger.
If you want to get better at debugging Perl, then IMHO print STDERR will help you more than learning perl5db.pl tricks. In over a decade of C and Perl programming, I have found gdb invaluable and perldb rarely worth the trouble. If you want to better understand Perl's debugging hooks, then reading perldebguts is the way to go.
