in reply to specify file to debug AND file containing debug commands on command line

Can you do what they suggest in Debugger Customization?

Edit: To be specific, you want to implement a .perldb file, with the afterinit subroutine that pushes commands to the @DB:typeahead array. You might want to try something like the following (untested):

#This is your .perldb file, it lives in ~/.perldb or ./.perldb, as per + [perldebug]. #Create a file of your debugger commands (one per line) and save it so +mewhere. Put its location in the environment variable PERLDB_MYCOMMAN +DFILE. BEGIN { sub afterinit { if ( $ENV{PERLDB_MYCOMMANDFILE} && -e $ENV{PERLDB_MYCOMMANDFIL +E}) { warn "Running commands from $ENV{PERLDB_MYCOMMANDFILE}"; open my $cmdfile, "<", $ENV{PERLDB_MYCOMMANDFILE} or die " +can't open $ENV{PERLDB_MYCOMMANDFILE}: $!"; push @DB::typeahead, <$cmdfile>; close $cmdfile; } } }
