I'm on a linux machine and use xterm windows. I use cshell but have tried bash and ksh and get the same thing. When I run my program in debug mode my keystrokes are not echoed back to the screen. I'm basically blind typing in commands. I don't have any other issues like this with any other programs. Only when in /usr/bin/perl -d I'm perlexed or perplexed... nobody else I know is having issues. Environment issue? tty, stty issue? Something is not set right. Thanks for your help, malbie ------------------------------------------------- This is the start of the program in debug mode. Which is really weird... I cut and pasted here. The cut and paste shows the DB<1> n command... I can't see the "n" on my monitor. But it shows up in the cut and paste... Weird. > run_program Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.39_10 Editor support available. Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help. main::(diag_track:104): $SIG{ "INT" } = "&abort '$0 interrupted"; DB<1> n main::(diag_track:106): print( "\n$0 ($CREATED) Unpublished (c) 2010 SGI\n\n" ); DB<1> n diag_track (11|14|2014) Unpublished (c) 2010 SGI main::(diag_track:107): &get_date; DB<1> n main::(diag_track:108): print( " Date: $date \n" ); DB<1> n Date: Mon Nov 17 13:10:49 2014 main::(diag_track:109): print( " Version: $VERSION \n" ); DB<1> n Version: SGI main::(diag_track:110): print( "Revision: $REVISION \n" ); DB<1> -------------------------------------------------------------
