active state perl debugger

nop has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hope these Qs aren't too dumb...
I am just starting to use the gui Active State perl debugger (2.0).
Q1: I cannot tell when it is working and when it is idling, waiting for input. Is there any indication of state anywhere?
Q2: Any tips or faqs on using this particular debugger? I'm having a hard time grokking it.

Errrr... I've read the manual for the general perl -d debugger; my confusion is around ActiveStates GUI wrapper to it. Thanks, though.	[reply]

and I'll add Q3: Can I set a conditional break... eg stop the debugger if a watch variable changes values?	[reply]
