Try this: `o pager="\| tee log" \|x %ENV` [download] Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."	[reply] [d/l]

I'm not in a place where I can test this, but try: `script -c 'perl -d myscript.pl' logfile.txt` [download] It will log the whole debugging session.	[reply] [d/l]

Yes, this works! Thanks. It would still be interesting to see if you could capture just that single 'x' command output only.	[reply]

The Perl debugger ~~uses~~ prints like Dumpvalue. `> perl -MDumpvalue -e ' $d = Dumpvalue->new(); $d->dumpValue([ 1, 2, { a => 3, b => 4, c => 5 } ])' > out.txt` [download] Update: Well, the debugger actually tries to use `dumpvar.pl`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As I have no experience with the debugger, I cannot give a direct solution; sorry. Have a look at perldebug and try out the `NonStop` and `LineInfo` options (as bart and jvector already mentioned in the CB). Don't know if you already checked that. Let's hope you get additional answers from more experienced "debuggers" ;o)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
