I'm cheap too. That's why I use a free editor that does support line
numbers, like ConTEXT (http://www.fixedsys.com/context/) or EMACS. It's
been a long time since I had debugged anything in PERL, but it seems to me
that knowing exactly which line the problem is occurring on is a lot more
helpful than knowing what it occurred near. As for knowing exactly what the
problem is, that usually becomes self-evident once you look at the line
indicated in the error message or the line immediately before or after.
But, "A chacun son gout" as they say.
