I have a collection of functions .. but no "main" function. I am reading "Step Inside the GHCi debugger" from Monad.Reader Issue 10 by Bernie Pope. If I don't have a "main" function can I still use the ghci debugger? (I tried to set a breakpoint on one of my functions but it didn't work).

It does not matter you do not have main function, just start debugging whatever function you have e.g. by: :step <yourFunctionName> <functionArg> ... Setting breakpoints works too without main. Actually, I'm aware only of one thing which does not work without main. It is :main command. But that command does not seem to do much, looks like it only sets program arguments and calls main. Peter.
