Re: Debugging web-based Perl

[Moody Ahmad]

Doug,
    If you are talking about cgi scripts, here is what I do:
Set environment variables
REQUEST_METHOD=GET and QUERY_STRING="whatever you need"
and then execute the cgi script with ddd script.cgi.
The script picks up the method and input from the environment
variables and can be debugged very nicely with ddd.

-------------ORIGINAL MESSAGE-----------
While ddd -perl works for most perl programs, if Perl is part of a web-based 
program, ddd doesn't
work.  (Apparently can't find a main or executable.)
How can one use ddd to debug a web-based Perl program?
