[Techtalk] debugging perl scripts

[overhaul]

Hi everyone...   been pretty quiet around here lately!  I'm hoping it 
isn't a total ghost town and someone's still reading.  :)

I have been trying to track down why a certain perl script tends to hang 
or die leaving behind it's children

this script doesn't log anywhere so I have no way of knowing what it's 
doing when it dies...  the children , however keep on running ..  how 
can I debug a process that is already  running?
