I was perusing the pocket reference book, "Perl Debugger", and came across the mention of the PadWalker module.

I have been using the perl debugger for some time now but had always been frustrated when trying to examine "my" variables. Because of this, I have avoided using them.

I hope to begin using the PadWalker module now and would appreciate any useful comments, hints, tips, etc. that anyone can offer with regards to best utilizing this module.

A question I have would be, is there any way to examine "my" variables (short of using print statements) in the debugger without using PadWalker?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello there. I'm the author of PadWalker, and I've only just discovered this forum!

I'm not really sure what problem you have. If you want to inspect 'my' variables in the debugger, then you need to install PadWalker. It's an ordinary CPAN module, so the usual installation methods will work. There's a Windows binary available as a PPM package, as described in a recent post here.

If you give me some details about your problem, I will try to help.
