Re: perl -d hanging on some input

It's probably a typo, and I can't see how it would produce the effect you describe anyway, but you have a bare word in your list assignment. ($a,b) = ....

That gives me

  DB<2> ($a,b) = chop
Can't modify constant item in list assignment at (eval 6)[c

  DB<3>

Which version/platform? The "($a,b) = chop" test hangs for me. Note also that these work fine: `perl -e '($a,b) = chop' perl -de '($a,b) = chop' # the pressing "c" to continue` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
