Eh? The n and s commands do exactly that. See also the r command. Sounded like the original poster wanted tracing. The t command in the debugger does that. Tracing isn't generally as useful for a Perl script as for a shell script because a shell script typically executes far fewer statements than the average Perl script. So the output can be unreasonably verbose. -- Peter Scott Pacific Systems Design Technologies http://www.perldebugged.com/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
