Is there a way to turn on tracing in perl (equivalent to bash -x)?

Question

I have a system script in perl. I need some equivalent of bash -x to determine what is going wrong with the script. Is there something equivalent?

EDIT: What bash -x

Answer 1

Always include these statements in your perl scripts:

use strict;
use warnings;

If you want to debug it, use the -d switch. And here are the commands: http://www.domainavenue.com/pl-debug.htm

Hope that helps.
