Re^3: perl debug options file

Well, you didn't tell me it was windows! ;) Details details. I don't think it's a perl version issue. Although I have slept since then, I do remember running this on perl 5.005.

I think the debugger is having trouble finding the .perldb file. I tried putting the .perldb file in %HOME% with no luck.

An alternative suggestion for you. If you are in a long debugging session (debug, tweak, debug...), you could add $DB:single=1 at locations in your script that you're trying to debug. Then when you run perl with the -d option, the script will break right after the $DB:single=1 line.

Just an alternative. I don't have an answer for the .perldb issue. *sorry*

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