    On the rare occasions I use a debugger, I use the one built in to perl perl -d script.pl See perldebug for details.

    But generally, unless I'm debugging other people's code, I rarely resort to even that. I find that if you develop incrementally, top-down, and do trail runs after each addition, debugger's are more trouble than they are worth.
