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

Perhaps reverting to a previous restore point via XP help?

    Thanks, that was a great idea, but unfortunately not available to me. Corporate 'gurus' control the laptop, the XP, AND (to some extent)me. Also, perl is not too readily accepted here, so I'm really a 'closet perl coder'. I'm proof it's easier to ask for forgiveness, than for permission. It's been this way since the z-80 assembler days. Do it, show them how good it works, & avoid telling them just HOW you did it. ;-)
    Were it not for this site, I'd have given up long ago. I had hoped that just reinstalling would fix it, but it looks like I'll have to dig a bit deeper. Thanks again for the reply. Next time I'll make my OWN checkpoint (ie Backup) before I start 'cleaning up'.
