Since you know PHP, can you confirm that PHP itself provides no option
to its command-line interpreter that gives you an interactive
debugger?

With Perl and the CGI.pm module, debugging is as simple as:

perl -d /var/www/localhost/cgi-bin/foo.cgi one_cgi_param=foo
another_cgi_param=bar

PHP cannot do anything like this?
