[MacPerl] Stupid Debugger Questions

[Jim Correia <correia@barebones.com>]

Given the following program:

#!perl -w
use strict;

my $f = "testing";

print $f;

If I stop before the print, and execute the command V main f I get no
output, why?

Is there anyway to dump all the local variables in a subroutine?

Is there anyway to do this automagically after every step?

The documentation says the line number for a is optional, but when I
write

a print "Hello Cruel World"

the debugger complains

    # syntax error, near "a print"
    File '(eval 2155)'; Line 2

A doesn't clear all actions for me - is this a known bug?

a lineNum expr

expr seems to need to be valid perl - for example I can't use a debugger
command here like x $s.  Is that true?  Is there any way to set an
action on a line number that is a debugger command?

I reserve the right to ask more stupid debugger questions later :-)
