in reply to Newbie to PERL debugger

The docs say to use "~" for regexes with V and X, so you want:
X ~popo

    No luck there either.

    DB<6> X ~popo DB<7>
      Ah, X and V are only for package variables. They will not work for lexical (my) variables. You can display specific lexical variables with "x", but not by regex. It does say "y" should work for lexicals like V and X, if you have PadWalker installed (which I don't).
