Sure. Having recently learned the wonders of ruby-debug, I can tell you 
this: you can set a breakpoint in the method, then step through it from 
that point on, examining variables (and doing a lot of other useful 
things) to your hearts content. When ready, you can resume regular 
execution. Very nicely set up, I think you'll find. And...it's all 
command line stuff.
