Re^4: I never use the debugger.

Hmmm?

b My::App::some_function $_[3] > 999
[download]

Sets the breakpoint on My::App::some_function only if the 4th argument is numerically larger than 999. Similar structure for line breaks:

b 215 $i > 999

I use it all the time. It's invaluable.

Re^5: I never use the debugger. by Anonymous Monk on Jul 28, 2005 at 16:55 UTC
The documentation on that feature has changed: it used to read "b <linenumber> <expr>", and no matter what I tried, the debugger wouldn't stop, not even with b <linenumber> 1, so I gave up on it years ago. You're saying it's a stable, reliable feature now? A debugger feature that doesn't work is worse than none, really...	[reply]
