Re^2: Perl inbuilt debugger - setting a breakpoint in another module (el)

    So far neither thread mentions the method I am most likely to use (if I want a breakpoint other than at the start of a routine):

    l Broken::Module::routine # ... b 418

    The "f" command requires file paths, which can be quite a bit longer than module package names and may require you to look something up. So I almost always use "l" with a subroutine name instead of "f".
