I try not to put bugs in in the first place.
When I code, I write a few lines, and run it. I write a few more
lines, and run that. If anything ever breaks, it's in the last few
lines I added.
If I need to "debug" anything, I just keep adding print until it works.
Sometimes, I use Data::Dumper or YAML.
For larger things, I've been using "test-first" methodology. Still no
need to ever go more than a few lines of code before running the tests
again though.
But a debugger? Wouldn't know how to use it. Wouldn't care for one.
Don't really understand those who need them, either.
