Potentially huge problem.

A user of mine just reported that, while using a computer that has VB installed on it, he got an error messaged and was offered the option to debug.
He allegedly chose to debug, and my script was displayed in an editor.
A) Is this possible?
B) Why would a VB utility even be capable of debugging Perl?
C) The program runs fine, using strict and the line the error is reported on is nothing fancy and i see no bug.

My concern is that most of my scripts contain my database username and password. If he can pull up the script, there's a big security problem... heh

He's a good guy, and I trust him, it's others I'm concerned about and I would like to resolve this issue ASAP.

How can I address this issue?

Thank you monks!
