Perl Debugged

A.1. General Syntax

The following apply to all commands entered in the debugger:

A.1.1. Continuation Lines

A line ending in a backslash (\) is concatenated with the next line before evaluation. No white space is permitted after the backslash.

A.1.2. Paging

| command
					

Run the debugger command, and pipe the debugger output through the current pager.

|| command
					

Run the debugger command, and pipe the program output through the current pager.

A.1.3. Command History

! [n]
! pattern
					

Run the command number n (default: previous command) or the last command that started with pattern. If n is negative, it is the nth command before the current one. The character can be changed from ! using the recallCommand option (discussed later).
