    Hi Choroba,
    Thanks much for your hint. Following your hint and my colleagues:
    ssh -X remote_location
    This enabled X11 forwarding and then when I invoke the
    perl -d:ptkdb script.pl
    it works like a charm!
      yes....ssh sets up the variables in your terminal session for the X server/client communication to work. you could have set those up yourself as well. X needs to know the endpoint for the communication..which in the end is an ip address and port number.
      the hardest line to type correctly is: stty erase ^H
