Darndest thing ever, fellow monks. I was playing with the perl -d test.pl debugger, and it failed with an odd looking error about connecting to localhost. Of course, I assumed it was my test.pl script, but it aint. Join me below the readmore tag for hot code action.
C:\perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
C:\>more test.pl
#!perl
use strict;
my $var = 'Beard\n';
print $var;
C:\>perl -d test.pl
Unable to connect to remote host: 127.0.0.1:2000
Compilation failed in require.
main::BEGIN() called at C:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl line 0
eval {...} called at C:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Thanks for any input, I really dont even know where to begin (ha!) on this one. Of course the test.pl is irrelevant, but why on earth is the debugger attempting a connection?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
