 Interpreter switch '-d' and $DEBUG may help you. This may be good for
tiny script, but running large application with -d switch is often so
verbose. I recommands you to use some logger library.

Example (using OBAQ):
  require 'obaq/log'
  
  class MyClass
    LOG = Obaq::Log.class_log(self)
    ...
    def func
      LOG.debug {
        # This block only performs when logger is configured debugging
mode.
        "..."  
      }
    end
  end

Thanks.
