How is db_tst.pl different from what I posted?

No, the script doesn't have Windows/DOS line endings. If it did, it wouldn't matter to Linux, if I call it via 'perl script.pl'. But it clearly runs fine on Linux (at least my Xubuntu and Debian installations). And the debugger issues no warnings.

What kind of warning could I insert that would help? It's not a runtime problem; it's a problem of the debugger missing a line, and so subsequent line numbers are off by one.

I note in the perl5db.pl POD text: 

@dbline
 Local alias to the magical line array, "@{$main::{'_<'.$filename}}" ,
 supplied by the Perl interpreter to the debugger. Contains the source
+.

That's pretty clear that the Perl 5.26.1 interpreter is providing a buggered line array.

I don't know how to follow up with that, except to upgrade to something newer.
