Thanks! That `do { no strict…` seemed to fix it 😄 Short of installing a new version of perl, is there an easy way to upgrade this core file in an existing installation? For now I have simply copied perl5db.pl to a location earlier in the @INC path and made the little change, that works, but I'd actually like a cleaner way. Hmm, I could of course fix the file in `/System/Library/Perl/5.18` too, but somehow I'd rather not 😮 Note too that reverting to the still existing 5.16 installation using `export VERSIONER_PERL_VERSION=5.16` worked as well, of course.
