[Bug: 21.4.17] When calling perldb from a script, the current source line is not properly selected! (keywords: perl, debug, gud), Resolved

[Thomas Mittelstaedt]

Stephen,

The error usually sits in front of the computer, even though the perl 
documentation could be a bit more explicit about this:
I just had to modify my little script to contain -emacs like:

cat /tmp/stdin-17959.log | perl -d 
/buildcontrol/tinderbox/bin/processmail_builds_test.pl -emacs

A perldoc perl5db.pl tells you under 'SETTING UP THE TERMINAL' to 
specify -emacs as the first option after the script.

       If there is a TTY, we have to determine who it belongs to before 
we can
       proceed. If this is a slave editor or graphical debugger (denoted by
       the first command-line switch being '-emacs'), we shift this off and
       set $rl to 0 (XXX ostensibly to do straight reads).



Greetings,
thomas
