If you want the C preprocessor, check out the -P option to Perl. But
I'd suggest that is not a good solution to most problems.

The approach is usually something like
if ($Debug)
{
}
or
print "Everything's fine up to here: ", Dumper $data if $Debug;
If you're concerned about performance and want to leave your debugging
code in place:
sub Debug () { 1 }
if (Debug)
{
}
This will allow your debugging code to be optimised away if you set the
debugging value to something false.
You can then get more complicated if you need too.
