in thread Convenient way to use 5.10 features in perldebugger?

I really appreciate your suggestion, but don't you think there should be an easier approach?

And if not shouldn't it be a feature request?

I tried to experiment with the < command but it seems I don't really understand how they work ...

Cheers Rolf

    Well I think it should have been added to the default perl5db.pl when the feature pragma was first written, but perhaps we'll see that still. What issues are you having with pre-prompt commands? It seems they have their own separate scope too, so setting features here is also ineffective.

      shouldn't

      < use feature "say" work?

      or shouldn't

      < print "huhu" show a message?

      UPDATE:

        DB<3> < print "huhu"
  DB<4> 
 
  DB<4> <<
pre-perl commands:
    << -- print "huhu"
  DB<5> h <
< ?            List Perl commands to run before each prompt.

        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
