How to Clean Up Perl Script Format

Perl is a programming language used for computer applications. If you have a Perl script with errors in it, you will need to remove the typos in the script to get the program working. You don't have to be a computer programmer to debug your Perl programs. You can do it yourself with just a few keystrokes in the Perl environment. Perl offers a debugging command that will allow you to go through the program line by line.

      Open the Perl script in your editor. Type "-d" to enter the debugging mode for your script. Press the "Enter" button on your keyboard to launch the command.

    • 4

      Type "n" to go through the subroutines recursively. This will allow you go through the lines from start to finish in the coding.
