From Jay Rogers:
Some versions of the perl debugger itself need to be patched to work with emacs. They are perl versions 5.001 and less, and version 5.004_01. To fix, locate and change the code similar to the following code in lib/perl5db.pl
if (-e "/dev/tty") { $console = "/dev/tty"; $rcfile=".perldb"; } elsif (-e "con") { $console = ""; <---- change "con" to "" $rcfile="perldb.ini"; } else { $console = "sys\$command"; $rcfile="perldb.ini"; }
Doug Campbell also has some suggestions for improving the interaction of perldb and Emacs.
