To be honest, the former appeals a little more as an extention to the existing command, while the latter seems to be a bit more distinct, although I don't actually have another suggestion for the latter at the moment either. If you implement it though, I suspect you can use any letter you choose, certainly at first... -- Richard Foley Ciao - shorter than aufwiedersehen http://www.rfi.net/ On Wednesday 27 August 2008 21:33:25 Heiko Eißfeldt wrote: > Hi, > > often during single-stepping I am missing a command like 'n' to step > over not only subroutine calls, but also complete map and grep-commands. > > Example: > > Instead of > > main::(perldb_demo.pl:4): my @a = (1..10); > DB<1> n > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:7): print "found\n"; > > I would like to use > > main::(perldb_demo.pl:4): my @a = (1..10); > DB<1> N > main::(perldb_demo.pl:6): if (0 < scalar grep { $_ == 9 } @a) { > DB<1> > main::(perldb_demo.pl:7): print "found\n"; > > How could that be done? > > I could imagine $DB::single can be set to 3 for this 'accelerated' > stepping. > > May I reserve the capital N for that command? > > Thanks, > Heiko > -- >
