I would like to be able to step through the code interactively in the debugger console, using native perl debugger commands, while watching syntax highlighted source code in another console. Is this possible in EPIC, or must one use the little GUI icons? Thanks.
You can evaluate expressions while suspended on a breakpoint using the "Perl Expression" view, but you cannot actually control that the debugger with commands like stepping/suspend/resume. These actions are supposed to be performed by clicking on the icons (or by using keyboard shortcuts), EPIC issues the commands on your behalf to the debugger instance under its control.
