( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Clumsy, but use {{ at the debugger prompt before the line(s) you want to "skip over."

Line 25 below, set the "pre-debugger" command to an octothorpe, effectively turning the line in the next debugger step into a comment. You can see the effect at 29.

Line 35 is one way of showing yourself what "pre-debugger" commands are in effect; Line 43 clears all "pre-debugger" commands.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @i = (2..5); for my $i (@i) { $i ++; print "foo"; print " $i\n"; } =head running under debug: >perl -d pl_test\test{{.pl Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.28 Editor support available. Enter h or `h h' for help, or `perldoc perldebug' for more help. main::(pl_test\test{{.pl:5): 5: my @i = (2..5); DB<1> {{ # DB<2> s main::(pl_test\test{{.pl:7): 7: for my $i (@i) { auto(-1) DB<2> # DB<2> s ... DB<2> {{ pre-debugger commands: {{ -- # DB<3> s foomain::(pl_test\test{{.pl:10): 10: print " $i\n"; auto(-1) DB<3> # DB<3> { * All { actions cleared. DB<4> ... continue normally =cut

Update: bolded the first {{ in the narrative.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
