To my knowledge, the best book on C++ is "The C++ programming
language" (3rd edition) by the creator of the language, Bjarne
Stroustrup. Though it's not easy reading, especially if C++ is one's
first programming language.

Online stuff... I haven't seen anything good out there.

I would use the Perl debugger for that purpose. Just add -d option to
the first line of your script which will look something like

#!/usr/bin/perl -d

and run the script as usually. Then type `h' at the debugger prompt for help.

Best of luck.
