You can set breakpoint in other module using the same b command:

b Broken::Completely::method

Ahh, I see. I had used that before, but I had read the docs as `b subname`, not thinking that I could use the full package name of a sub. My only complaint is that will set a breakpoint on entry to the sub. If the sub is many lines long, I want to give a line number, like `b some/file/name 1165`... (Or, I could be a good little agile programmer and write shorter subs....) Thanks for the response!	[reply] [d/l] [select]
