I am not familiar with setting breakpoints. Can you tell me how i can do that?

Did you see my other post of the truss output? It seems to be running lstat on the directories & files and hangs on one of the NFS mounted directories. I don't have permissions to umount that partition. But I can't figure out why it's trying to do lstats.

The output that i have attached to the previous post from truss was for this command

 # truss ../../miniperl "-I../../lib" Makefile.PL "INSTALLDIRS=perl" "
+PERL_CORE=1" "LIBPERL_A=libperl.a"

When i tried it with the -d option , i get this error of cannot find Handle.pm and it's looking at empty directories. But i don't know where it's supposed to look for them.

# truss  ../../miniperl -d "-I../../lib" Makefile.PL "INSTALLDIRS=perl
+" "PERL_CORE=1" "LIBPERL_A=libperl.a"
