Apress eBooks · 2006
This section has shown you how to use the regex debugging facilities built into Perl and the Perl debugger. You’ve learned how to view the usually voluminous output and how to interpret the data provided.

For further ideas on debugging regexes in Perl check out the following perldoc references: The next chapter offers an introduction to the customizing of the debugger, either by using the available commands and options, or by replacing the entire library itself.
