Smart::Comments or Devel::StealthDebug?

    Ah, yes, Smart::Comments is the one I remember seeing. Looks like a cool module and may help the OP. However, there are quite a few bugs open and no new release in a year and a half, so that may be something to consider.

      Smart::Comments is very useful for debugging, but not so good for permanent logging as it uses a source filter which most people elect not to use in production code.

        Thanks BrowserUk. As I noted in my Update to my original post, I tend to use logging more for flexibilitly in capturing script results rather than for debuggin. So your observation is especially appropo to my challenge. Thanks so much. Yours and saberworks's thread was really intersting and enlightening for me.

      I'll look into that module. It sounds interesting. Thanks saberwords and BrowserUk.
