Komodo Remote Debugging, Part 2

Luckily, I now have half of a solution to the Komodo Remote Debugging issue I previously wrote about, thanks to Peter.

I still don't have a solution to the PerlEx debugging issue. No matter how hard I try, there's no way I can get it to communicate with Komodo. I'm not too worried about it, though. It's not often you need to debug a perl application while in production, and I can deal with it later.

Peter found the same issue that I did. ActiveState's documentation states that you must change the application mapping in IIS to reflect 'perl.exe -d "%s" %s' to get perl to go into debug mode. This doesn't work, for a variety of reasons. Turns out, if you change the shebang in your cgi (#!/usr/bin/perl and the like) to add -d, but leave it out of the app mapping, debug mode starts up properly.

Sure enough, I tried it out on my IIS machine in a virtual directory, went to the script, and Komodo lit up just fine on my Mac.

Thanks, Peter.
