Re: lvalue and perl debug

I have a tentative rule-of-thumb that if something breaks the debugger, it should probably be avoided. It's one of the warning signs that you're being too clever.

lvalue subs are experimental and have been since what 5.006 ? perltodo does say lvalue subs don't work in debugger since DB::sub ignores attributes and would be good to fix (fix debugger i.e.) I am wondering if anyone has found a workaround, I am still in favor of using lvalue subs, as it's syntactically more elegant.

this is already reported in perl bug #7013 http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=7013 I am patching pp_hot.c, perl5db.pl. Stuff like dprof will need fixing too.	[reply]
