Finding a PL/SQL error

I have a stored procedure I'm trying to implement, but when I load it into sqlplus, I get the oh-so-helpful error message "warning: error during compile" or something to that effect. Is there a better way to do this so I can get more useful information about the problem?

I'm far too embarassed to post my silly attempt at a PL/SQL script, so I'd just like to know how I can go about figuring out the problem myself.

Thanks in advance!
