in reply to STDIN usage in interactive debug

In the debugger you can either use debugger commands or valid Perl, but <"FILE" is neither.

To get the contents of a file into an array, valid Perl isn't that difficult:

DB<1> open ($in,'<','FILE') DB<2> @ln = <$in> DB<3> close $in

    Or you could even do it all in one line (without needing the close). . .

    DB<1> @lines = do { open( my $fh, '<', 'FILE' ); <$fh> }
