in reply to Using Data::Printer from the Perl debugger

G'day ibm1620,

I can replicate your results.

I made a verbatim copy of foo.pl (including shebang and v5.36). I have the latest versions of DB::Pluggable (1.112001) & Data::Printer (1.001000). I get identical output to what you show for 'perl -d ./foo.pl'.

I also tried with .perldb code formatted as shown in DB::Pluggable - SYNOPSIS. The result was the same ("prints twice") except, of course, for: 

  DB<2> c
Here is ~/.perldb:

use DB::Pluggable;
DB::Pluggable->run_with_config(\<<EOINI);
[DataPrinter]
EOINI

main::(./foo.pl:10):    my $foo = 1; # set breakpoint here and issue p
+ @xx

[download]
"I get the same result when I remove the last 3 lines from foo.pl"

My result starts the same but ends with: 

  DB<3> c
Debugged program terminated.  Use q to quit or R to restart,

[download]

I don't see this as being related to "prints twice"; however, it might be worth checking that the code you posted is the same as what you're running. After removing 3 lines, my last statement is 'my $foo = 1;'.
