This question just came up in a discussion and i am curious to know .

Is it possible to have a debugger that can debug 2 languages . For example . If i have Java program that references/opens/accesses/ a script (Perl or Python) then is it possible to have a debugger to be able to debug the Perl/Python script ?

Note : Logging is not an acceptable debugging technique here .

Yes, alter the host program (the java program ) so that it runs the perl program in a debugger

You might well run into problems with the way that debuggers "attach" in different programming language environments. perl -d assumes a tty is there for interactive commands whereas java does something completely different
