Actually, Active State makes really good debuggers for the scripting languages. Tcl/Tk has an OSS version that more than satisfies my needs (I usually don't need more than a couple of prints and some thought, which is the hard part). Most of the time when I can't make something work, it's because I don't understand the command I'm trying to use. I have to ask a mailing list, the sooner the better. But that's true of every programming language I know of. http://www.activestate.com, but they're not responding this morning. -- Lan Barnes Linux Guy, SCM Specialist Tcl/Tk Enthusiast People who govern in the name of God attribute their own personal preferences to God, and therefore recognize no limit in imposing those preferences on other people. - Justice Douglas Johnstone, Alabama Supreme Court -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-lpsg
