Over a series of exercises you will learn how to use the Perl debugger.
You should try to work through the lessons in order. Even if you don't perform all the exercises you should read the lesson's README.md file.
Make sure the permissions are correct for the .perldb files in this cloned
repository:
sh ./SETUP.sh
Make sure you don't have your own .perldb file(s) anywhere that might
interfere with the lessons and examples.
The lesson directories all have a local .perldb file that should override
any configuration in other directories - if things start to behave strangely,
please double check that there are no other files that could be influencing
the debugger's behaviour.
For each lesson it's assumed you have changed your current working directory to be that of the lesson, for example:
# change to the directory for the first lesson
cd 01.basics/
# read the lesson plan
cat README.md
# ... some time passes
# change to the directory for the second lesson
cd ../02.setup/
You should be able to view, read and understand the Markdown files in any text editor.

If you opt to use Chrome with the Markdown Here extension you can simply
google-chrome README.md
to open the README.md file in the current directory.
If you'd like to use the Chrome file browser
google-chrome $PWD
or
google-chrome ./
should both work.
You can open files in Chrome from the command line:
open -a "Google Chrome" README.md
If you'd like to use the Chrome file browser:
open -a "Google Chrome" $PWD
