When running code under the debugger I routinely use the "v" command to find out "where I am"; but now it fails thus:

DB<4> v
Undefined subroutine &DB::cmd_l called at /usr/share/perl/5.34/perl5db.pl line 6034, <$PAGE> line 34.
at /usr/share/perl/5.34/perl5db.pl line 6034, <$PAGE> line 34.
DB::cmd_v("v", "", 251) called at /usr/share/perl/5.34/perl5db.pl line 4798
DB::cmd_wrapper("v", "", 251) called at /usr/share/perl/5.34/perl5db.pl line 4311

DB::DB called at (... etc: my code at this point).

Has something changed? Running under Linux Mint 20, all up to date.

The error was introduced somewhere around 5.17 and fixed in 5.35:

Meh; repos are at 5.34. I'll wait; it's not life-threatening. Thank you for prompt and accurate answer.
