The first basics:

 If something strange has gone wrong with  your  program  and
     you're  not  sure where you should look for help, try the -w
     switch first. It will often  point  out  exactly  where  the
     trouble is.



-w  for warnings

I am an experienced perl programmer, but I have switched to C++.



I've never used the debugger.

Normally no interpreted language needs a debugger.

Only compiled and linked does.

Hovewer,  post your problem.

I wanna see some good perl code. ;-)
