[MacPerl] MacPerl/Alpha hangs

[John Macdonald <jmacd@mail.interlog.com>]

This is probably a "so don't do that", but I figured I'd confirm it...

I turn the debugger on while running scripts from the Alpha editor.
Then, while the script is being debugged, if I do anything that tries
to interact with Alpha, the system stops responding (the mouse still
moves, clock updates, CD keeps playing music, just no response to
mouse clicks and such).

I guess that while Alpha is waiting for the script to complete so that
it can collect the output log and such, it is not able to do anything
else (like page through the program that I'm trying to debug).

Is "so don't do that" the only alternative?  (Or should I perhaps be
directing this question to the Alpha mailing list?)
