I'd really prefer a graphical debugger for Perl. Does such a thing exist?
A1:
Yes, there are a few. If you're using Perl under Windows, ActiveState has a very nice graphical debugger.
Q2:
What's the main:: stuff that the debugger keeps printing?
A2:
It has to do with Perl's package naming conventions. Some of this information will be covered in the next hour , so don't worry too much about it for now.
Q3:
Does Perl have other command-line switches?
A3:
Yes, several. You can view the full list in the online manual. To access this information, type perldoc perlrun at a command prompt.
