Then either continue execution or step through each line, depending on how you want to proceed. You might also find what you need simply by stepping through some lines and then using the other debugger commands to examine variables or run a line of code. And believe it or not, reading up on something probably takes less time than waiting on a mailing list response. _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
