Have you tried adding the -d switch to the shebang line at the top of your script? Something like
#!/usr/bin/perl -d
use strict;
use warnings;
$|=1;$\="\n";
print "Test";
It really depends exactly how it gets launched, but at least in simple cases this should start the debugger.
Edit: You can then set a breakpoint on a specific line with a certain condition using
> b [line] [condition]
and hit
> c
to continue with running the script - the debugger will stop at the specified line when the condition is met
