in reply to Function Keys Setup in perldebug
The perl debugger, perl5db, uses the Term::ReadLine mechanism to get its command line input. Although this is core, what comes with it is merely a stub.
You need to install Term::ReadLine::Perl and/or Term::ReadLine::Gnu, which support arrow keys and command history. The latter needs the readline library as a prerequisite - this library is outside perl.

My friends all rate Windows, I must disagree.

So oh Lord, won’t you burn me a Knoppix CD ?
