Hi All,
I am learning how to use Perl. When I was first time using VBA, I
could use "F8" to track how all the variables change each by each and
step by step so that I can understand how the coding flows. Is there
any method to do so (or similar) in Perl? Many thanks!
There isn't a dedicated Perl IDE, like VS for VB or C#, or NetBeans
(or Eclipse or BlueJ or JGrasp or JBuilder, etc) for Java, or LispBox
for Lisp. Unless you buy a an IDE (like the Active State product)
you've got to use a text editor and the key chords and function key
mappings are determined by the editor, not by Perl.
On a Windows machine, I use Textpad, Notepad, Winvi, or even edit to
create the source files and run the scripts at the command prompt. On
a Unix/Linix machine, I use vi or emacs to create the files and run
them at the command prompt.
You can run the built in Perl debugger with the -d switch. If you
invoke the debugger, it will allow you to step through the code and
look at your variables.
