I have a couple of thoughts. The %INC hash contains all the packages (and required scripts) that are loaded and where they are loaded from. So you could dump %INC to find out where perldb5.pl is getting perl5db 

PERLDB_OPTS="NonStop=1" perl -de "while(my(\$key, \$value) = each(%INC
+)){print qq{\$key ==> \$value\n};}"
perl5db.pl ==> /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/perl5db.pl

[download]

Also, rather than using an environment variable to tell perl where to look for the package, you could use the -I option: 

(foo-lnx:Mon Jan 10 14:53:14):~/tmp
$cp /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.0/perl5db.pl .
 
(foo-lnx:Mon Jan 10 14:53:31):~/tmp
$PERLDB_OPTS="NonStop=1" perl -I. -de "while(my(\$key, \$value) = each
+(%INC)){print qq{\$key ==> \$value\n};}"
perl5db.pl ==> perl5db.pl

[download]

Hope that helps!

Sorry, can't help with the RemotePort portion as I don't use Active State.

"Look, Shiny Things!" is not a better business strategy than compatibility and reuse.
