Perl trace setup

Hi guys,
does anybody know if there is a way to set trace in Perl for every executed command similar to what we get when running
set -x at the begining of ksh script ?

Perl -d is an interactive debugger and does not serve well for my perpose. All I need is a trace of every command in my script.
Print statement is not the best solution since it is 8000 lines perl script.

Thanks a lot for any advice.

Something with the same behavior as shell set -x: Try using Devel::Trace (install if needed) and then use perl -d:Trace foo. Also, -d:Trace can go on a shebang line.
