in reply to Perl Debugger v1.28 can't be restarted in Activestate Perl Ver 5.8.7 build 815?

I've had similar experience on all 5.8 versions of ActiveState's Perl. I find it mildly aggravating, especially as I can remember the debugger being re-startable before 5.8.

My only advice is to submit a bug report to ActiveState.

    Well, I _know_ that 503 worked, so this is something new. Anyway, I commented out the POSIX call in perl5db.pl (It defaults to a reasonable value anyway) and things are all good again with ActiveState 5.8.8. Give it a try, may work for you. (The call started on line 3331.) Robert
