in thread Debugger problem in 5.10

I believe I traced the problem down to line 380 in my version of Storable.pm (2.18): 
    eval { $self = pretrieve(*FILE) };

[download]
which based on the comments in the file is a call to a C routine.

I found other issues, such as that the taint checking does not always seem to work correctly, and variables are considered tainted under the debugger even when they are properly untainted (and they are not considered tainted when the code is run without the debugger).

    That would make me more interested in installing my own copy of Perl (from source) and using that.

    I would probably also try a bit to see if I could resolve the problem with the system's Perl (since these seem serious enough that the system might run into problems when it goes to use this flakey install of Perl). Perhaps forcing a re-install as a first step.
