Perl GUI Debugger - OSX

Question

I'm running into some trouble with my perl scripts, what is a good perl debugger I can use? I've tried using the perl -d but it doesn't seem to read the script properly. Iv'e used gdb with c and eclipse with c. but I'm finding it hard to find a Perl debugger with a GUI. Any suggestions?? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

ptkdb is my favourite. It runs off the Tk library so you should just need to

```
sudo cpan Tk
sudo cpan Devel::ptkdb
```

Then run your script with

```
perl -d:ptkdb script.pl
```

with anything you want to pass in after the script

I just tried this with my Mavericks Mac and ran into a few issues. (missing X) It has worked previously for me. YMMV
