Dear fellow monks,

I would like to confirm that I am experiencing a bug in the perl debugger shipped with perl 5.34, which is perldb.pl version 1.60

If I type the debugger command 'v', there is a weird error message:

 
# perl -de '1;' 

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.60
Editor support available.

Enter h or 'h h' for help, or 'man perldebug' for more help.

main::(-e:1):   1;

This happens in the perl:5.34 docker container I pulled from https://hub.docker.com/_/perl
