Re: Perl debugger is interactively using features

It's the result of the following in perl5db.pl:

BEGIN {
    require feature;
    $^V =~ /^v(\d+\.\d+)/;
    feature->import(":$1");
    $_initial_cwd = Cwd::getcwd();
}
[download]

(On a side note, it's pretty silly you can't do use feature $^V;.)
