Perl DB question

[Sara]

I often want to break on the first line of a block, such as


21 while ($itsANiceDay)
22 {print "lets play outdoors\n";
23 $itsANiceDay = getWeatherReport();
24 }


I can set a breakpoint on like 21 or 23, but why not 22? It looks like
a legitimate place to break?

Line 22 contains both the start of a new block and an executable
statement. The new block can't take a break point. Using more
conventional bracing and indenting solves it:

21 while ($itsANiceDay) {
22 print "lets play outdoors\n";
23 $itsANiceDay = getWeatherReport();
24 }
