Perl comes with a debugger.
There is also ptkdb (I think), a Tk based perl debugger (I've never used it).
Though I use debuggers in some environments with some languages,
I've found that I never use a debugger on my own perl code. You may find that's
the case for you too depending on how maintainable your code is.
