Question: Is there a command or a way around skipping a line of code in perl debugger?
I have some random lines and functions in my executable file, so I though I should skip those function calls. Is there a command for it?
EDIT:I don't want to execute the subroutine calls!

Answer: 
I'm afraid there is no way to skip a line with the Perl built-in debugger.

For reference, see the discussion that the Perl Monks had regarding this issue: <http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=750710>

Some suggestions include:

* Commenting out the line you want to skip. If during the debugging session you want to execute the commented out line, you can issue it in the debugger prompt.
* Add a variable for testing purposes. You can change its value from the debugger prompt.

```perl
    my $dbgln = 0;  # <- add this line
    if($dbgln){ original code of line to skip }

```

* Put a label after the line that you want to skip and issue a `goto` command from the debugger prompt.
`n` skips over subroutine calls, `c` LINENUMBER skips over everything until the line is reached.

You could have found this out yourself by reading the [documentation](http://p3rl.org/debtut) and online help `h`.
