in reply to I think I may have hosed a piece of perl, specifically the debugger.

It seems that the debugger can't determine the window size of your terminal. Do other programs that use this information work for you (eg text based editors). What exactly did you "clean up"?
2-Should messages like this be in <some type of> tags?
In <code>...</code> tags.

    Notepad & VisualSE seem to work, but I don't know if they're considered text-based. Procomm's VT100 emulation works OK.
    I don't know exactly what I cleaned up, it was a TEMP folder & most of the sub folders were empty. Also, there appeared to be a "saved download history" folder full of shortcuts, etc.
    I'm usually very careful about what I delete, but none of these folders looked to be "production" files. Hindsight being 20/20, I should have just added an external drive.
    Could it be a windows issue, & not perl or the debugger? I just have never seen these types of messages. I didn't realize perl NEEDED the terminal size, etc.
    Thanks.
