Run your program under the debugger and issue the 't' command (set trace
on), then the 'c' command (continue).
I guess you would also like variables to be expanded in place but it
doesn't do this. Nor should it, if you think about it. The restrictions
on variables that the shell can use make this feasible, not so in Perl.
