I've had problems invoking the debugger in MacPerl with -d, rather than
using the Perl Debugger menu item.

For example:

--- Script:

#!perl -d

for (0..1) {
print "$_\n";
}

print "foo\n";

--- Perl Debug:

Emacs support available.

Enter h or `h h' for help.

2062    }

2064    package DB;                     # Do not trace this 1; below!
  DB<1>

Where did the listing for my script go?  Beats me.
At least I got the correct output.


I've also had MacPerl crash when using -d.  So, I always use the Perl
Debugger menu item instead.
