There is a builtin debuger, but it's a wee bit scary (even to me,
after more than ten years of Perl). I think you'll have more luck
with Devel::ptkdb
(http://search.cpan.org/search?query=ptkdb&mode=all)
Plus some of the IDEs like Komodo contain a debuger. I myself don't
like IDEs so I can't comment on those.
