Re: debugin perl under debian not working

Hi!

Your `~/.ddd/log' tells me that your Perl prompt is enclosed in
control characters (\001 and \002, as shown in the log):

<- "main::(src/debian/dpkg-shlibdeps.pl:6):\n"
   "6:\t$dpkglibdir=\"/usr/lib/dpkg\";\n"
<- "\001\002  DB<1> \001\002"
!  Interrupt

I can easily setup a future DDD version to handle this.  Before I do
this, though, I must make sure that this is not an isolated problem:

* Please check whether you have any customized perl settings.  (Is
  there some `.perlrc' file or likewise?)

* Please send me your environment settings, as obtained by the
  `env' command.  Most important are the terminal settings, as well
  as any Perl-specific environment variables.

Thanks in advance,

Andreas Zeller
