in thread debugger is not stopping at postponed breakpoints

File::Temp->new doesn't use 'signatures' and hasn't been modified since 2013. Were you suggesting that it (or a new feature like it) may be loaded when starting the debugger? Or that the debugger has been broken in the process of adding the feature.

Thanks for the suggestion about focusing on debugging perl5db.pl. I'll have to explore that more.

      This! But it's only a guess.

      Narrowing down the Perl version would help.

      The older thread you linked is another good guess too.

      Hopefully this thread will lead into an official bug report.
