Thanks for your reply. I reinstalled the PadWalker PPD, but the problem remains the same. I also tried the following PPDs, with no effort yet:
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/R/RO/ROBIN/PadWalker +-1.7.ppd http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.10/1006/R/RO/ROBIN/PadWalker +-1.9.ppd (this one should have fixed the problem) http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/PadWalker.ppd

    Perl 5.10.1 introduced a one-line change in Cwd.pm that broke debugging on Windows which may be the same issue you're having, see: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=56225

    You should file a bug report ;)

      I had the same problem after upgrading to ActivePerl 5.10.1.1007 for windows. I then cleaned and did a fresh install of 1007, and still had the same problem. I recleaned. and installed ActivePerl 5.10.1.1006 and everything was fine.

      I hope this helps. Nigel

        Great help! I also had this problem and backed up to build 1006 (glad I still had the install binary in my downloads area) and EPIC debugging works again! Thanks.

        thanks for your advise. This problem have made me want to cry. N I can debug my perl program. I have changed the ActivePerl 5.10.1.1200 to ActivePerl 5.10.1.1006.
