in reply to Cryptic failure of perldb under -T

The cause of the error is specified more precisely in v5.11.4-24-g1549364*, yet the location is even more hidden:

$ ./perl -Ilib -Tde 1 Insecure dependency in require while running with -T switch at lib/per +l5db.pl line 1417. Compilation failed in require. at -e line 0 main::BEGIN() called at lib/perl5db.pl line 0 eval {...} called at lib/perl5db.pl line 0 BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. at -e line 0 Debugged program terminated. Use q to quit or R to restart, use o inhibit_exit to avoid stopping after program termination, h q, h R or h o to get additional info. DB<1> q

Is the problem that Carp isn't taint safe? That's not good. How about you submit a bug report?
