-.SH NAME
-perldb - Perl Debugger
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B perldb [-o output] perlscript arguments
-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I Perldb
-is a symbolic debugger for
-.I perl
-scripts.
-Run your script just as you normally would, only prepend \*(L"perldb\*(R" to
-the command.
-(On systems where #! doesn't work, put any perl switches into the #! line
-anyway\*(--perldb will pass them off to perl when it runs the script.)
-Perldb copies your script to a temporary file, instrumenting it in the process
-and adding a debugging monitor.
-It then executes the instrumented script for
-you and stops at the first statement so you can set any breakpoints or actions
-you desire.
-.PP
-There is only one switch: \-o, which tells perldb to put its temporary file
-in the filename you specify, and to refrain from deleting the file.
-Use this switch if you intend to rerun the instrumented script, or want to
-look at it for some reason.
-.PP
-These are the debugging commands:
-.Ip s 8
-Single step.
-Subsequent carriage returns will single step.
-.Ip c 8
-Continue.
-Turns off single step mode and runs till the next break point.
-Subsequent carriage returns will continue.
-.Ip <CR> 8
-Repeat last s or c.
-.Ip "l min-max" 8
-List lines in the indicated range.
-.Ip "l line" 8
-List indicated line.
-.Ip l 8
-List the whole program.
-.Ip L 8
-List breakpoints.
-.Ip t 8
-Toggle trace mode.
-Trace mode causes lines to be printed out as they are executed.
-.Ip "b line" 8
-Set breakpoint at indicated line.
-.Ip "d line" 8
-Delete breakpoint at indicated line.
-.Ip d 8
-Delete breakpoint at this line.
-.Ip "a line command" 8
-Set an action for indicated line.
-The command must be a valid perl command, except that a missing trailing ;
-will be supplied.
-.Ip q 8
-Quit.
