Does anyone know how to set your .emacs so that if you have a perl script loaded in the current emacs window, and then invoke the command "perldb", it will cause perldb to run against the script in the window?

My real problem is that when I run the perldb command, it puts perl -e 0 in the window and I have no idea of the proper way to enter the file name I want to debug. I've tried just entering it - no good. erasing the -e doesn't work either. Nor the 0.

Before anyone asks, the instructions within perldb.el are not very helpful in this regard.
