have you tried the built-in debugger....

prompt> perl -d yourCode.pl

You can set breaks, skip to the break, print variables to see what they contain...etc...

Note: your perl may not be compiled with the built in debugger. try it and see. if not, you can recompile with a '-D' option and it'll install it. you could even have two versions of perl running, one with the debugger and one without, for a minor performance gain in the one without...
