I am using Perl 5.24 on Windows 7.
On trying out the debugger I find it has issues:

Loading DB routines from perl5db.pl version 1.49
Editor support available.

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

main::(consolidator.pl:20):     my $test = 0; my $debug = 1;

I read a post from roho that seemed to have some similar problem and it mentioned TERM. That is not set on my system.

I have checked that Term::ReadLine is installed.

I'd rather not have to debug the debugger at the moment !

Any pointers to what to do would be much appreciated.
