[MacPerl] Stability of MacPerl and debugger?

[Gary Trachier <trachier@crrel41.crrel.usace.army.mil>]

Hi Group,

I have been using MacPerl 5.2.0r4 for a few days now and would love to do
more with it.  I find however that it frequently crashes especially when
using the debugger.  Often while debugging, I get the "out of memory" error
followed by a crash.  There were a couple of other odd happenings.  One was
a case where I "required" a source file.  When I stepped the debugger
through that require statement, it would get stuck somewhare in Carp.
There was no trouble requiring other source files.  I seem to have solved
it by giving that source file a different name. Hmmm.  There have been
other inexplicable behaviors as well.  The bottom line is that my first
experiences with MacPerl have not been very productive.

Is there a trick or something that I am missing to make it well-behaved?

I am running on Mac 2fx, System 7.5.5, and loaded Mac_Perl_520r4_appl
followed by Mac_Perl_520r4_bigappl.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Thanks for your thoughts.
