So far not so good. The script runs OK from a cmd window as perl -d 
myapp.pl, rendering the full html from the template, including the 
header. This was the same template that caused the 'Document contained 
no data' error when run via the browser under mod_perl.

The step and trace commands did not seem very useful as there were many 
hundreds of lines of script displayed as it traced through all the 
modules. The perl -d:ptkdb option also looks interesting, but again it 
ends up printing the full template html out to a command window.

But from what I have read so far it seems I needed to set an Apache 
config option to use Apache::DB if started with IfDefine PERLDB. So I 
have done this and the Apache error log confirms this as the last line 
is DB<1>. Now if I try to run the application in the browser I get the 
'loading' icon permanently revolving, and it seems like it is waiting 
for me to step through the commands in a terminal window. But I don't 
know how to do this in Windows. I also get an error in the Apache error 
log: 'GetConsoleMode failed, LastError=|6| at 
C:/usr/local/site/lib//Term/ReadKey.pm line 268.' I don't know if this 
is significant.

I'm not really convinced I'm testing my apps under Apache/mod_perl when 
run from the command line like this anyway. Help anyone?
