in thread PadWalker and Safe - getting the lexicals

Thanks for the answer.
Regarding to your idea - I was sure I can execute the debugger only via "perl -d", but since you reffered as if it is possible other way I looked again.

From "perldebguts" under "Debugger Internals":
"These mechanisms are enabled by calling Perl with the -d switch."
It seems that the sub DB::DB is not executed unless you use the "-d" flag.
Do I miss something here ???

Thanks,
shushu

    And another note (sorry I do it in parts...)

    From looking around I understand that the problem to enable the debugger. In Apache, when wanted to enable the debugger, it seems that special code was needed:
    From modperl archive (http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/182/2000/12/0/4895655/) -
