print() and Data::Dumper are my favorite debugging tools:
2009-10-14 15:59:25 dpchr...@p43400e ~/bar
$ l
./ ../ another.one file.one file.two foo
2009-10-14 15:59:26 dpchr...@p43400e ~/bar
$ cat foo
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
print Data::Dumper->Dump([...@argv], [qw(*ARGV)]);
2009-10-14 15:59:29 dpchr...@p43400e ~/bar
$ perl foo howdy arg 123 *
@ARGV = (
'howdy',
'arg',
'123',
'another.one',
'file.one',
'file.two',
'foo'
);
