If you use CGI.pm you can actually debug from the command line. It's
clever enough to knwo how it's being called and if you use your script
from the comand line, CGI.pm gets you to enter name/value pairs from the
command line and then runs. Very handy and of course you can poke it
through the perl deugger if you're really desperate.
