RE: Debugger Doesn't Show Program Lines

[Nelson R Pardee]

I found that the combination of -w -d didn't work. But if I did "use
warnings" with -d, the problem went away. I don't think that's what's
supposed to happen, but it's a usable workaround. And 5.8.x had the same
problem, I believe.

I don't even know how to file a bug report, and right now this problem
is "ages" ago in terms of projects:-)

Perhaps it's a problem with 5.6.1, have you tried a more recent version of
Perl, like 5.8.n?
