How can I monitor the Perl call stack?

Question

I'm using ActivePerl 5.8 on Windows XP.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

There are three subroutines used in my script.

To detect the call stack, I can only insert some print "some location"; and check the print result from console Window.

Is there any good method to monitor it? Thank you.

If it's your code, you might want to use:

Carp::cluck( "And here's the stack:" );

See Carp::cluck. It prints out a warning with a stack trace. It works like the "printf" style of debug output.
