Sadly, no, they have their own scope: `DB<9> < my $f = 42; DB<10> x $f 0 undef DB<11> << local $g = 15; DB<12> x $g 0 undef` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

not a matter of scope... `DB<32> < $main::a++ DB<33> print $main::a 5 DB<34> print $main::a 5 DB<35> print $main::a 5` [download] maybe the use is restricted to real debugging (breakpoints and so on ..) and not meant for interactive shells. Cheers Rolf	[reply] [d/l]

~~Your code does not demonstrate your statement.~~ Showing you can access the value of a global variable does not say anything about scope.	[reply]

> maybe the use is restricted to real debugging (breakpoints and so on ..) and not meant for interactive shells. actually that's the case, e.g. when stepping with `n` thru a program the pre- and post-prompt commands are executed. They are NOT executed when entering any perl lines. to test try something like `perl -de'for (1..1000) {0}'` and type `n`. And BTW all these automatic commands have their own scope.
