in reply to Debugger issue solved (two years ago)

The error was introduced somewhere around 5.17, and was fixed in 5.35.2.

This is the fix.

The removed subroutine still remained in comments and documentation, from where it was finally removed in 5.35.5.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Weird. I just tried on a different machine, and didn't see the 'v' error.

    That's version 1.55 of the debugger .. 
    $ grep -m 2 VERSION /usr/share/perl/5.30/perl5db.pl
use vars qw($VERSION $header);
$VERSION = '1.55';

    Anyway, I'm glad it was fixed, and doubly glad that Open Source exists. Imagine if this was a binary only situation -- I'd have to go back to an older version, or rely on some questionable binary patch. :/

      Oh, sorry for the confusion. The work on cmd_l started in 5.17, but it didn't get the final blow before this commit which went to 5.33.1.

        Thanks! I was sure that the 'v' command wasn't broken that long. :)
