Conditional breakpoints are used to pause the debugger when
specific events occur, such as when a variable equals a certain
value, an exception occurs, or a function completes execution.
This showcase uses a variable in the Perl sample program; on the
Start Page, select Open Sample Project, then
double-click perl_sample.pl in the Project Manager.
Invoke the Breakpoint Properties dialog box
(Debug|Add\Edit Breakpoint).
On the Conditional tab, configure a
breakpoint as shown. The break will occur on line 50 when the
$sum variable is equal to $11.75.
The breakpoint is displayed on the margin of the program
file, and on the Breakpoints tab.
Run the debugger. Execution pauses on line 50, when the
$sum variable is equal to $11.75.
