=head1 GENERAL NOTES
The debugger can look pretty forbidding to many Perl programmers. There are
use vars qw($VERSION $header);
# bump to X.XX in blead, only use X.XX_XX in maint
-$VERSION = '1.58';
+$VERSION = '1.59';
$header = "perl5db.pl version $VERSION";
If you're looking for the nitty gritty details of how the debugger is
I<implemented>, you may prefer to read L<perldebguts>.
+For in-depth technical usage details, see L<perl5db.pl>, the documentation
+of the debugger itself.
