I found
  http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/ruby-debug.html#SEC18
and then placed

  require 'rubygems'
  require 'ruby-debug

into the source ...

but I still can't get the debugger to trigger.   I get the following messages ...


f:\UltraDedup>ruby -r debug UltraDedup.rb
Debug.rb

Any thoughts on how to trigger the debugger?
