this is a bit better approach,
although even declaring variables with "my" are not always possible there:
some are good but some aren't.

And at least person touching these internals should read at least
perldebguts.pod, perldebug.pod  and also related perl internals.


My personal preferences on the matter are:

- retain this perl5db.pl file as a single file, although it could be renamed to 
be "pm" instead of "pl"
- remove all references of "tkRunning" from there - IMO these are bogus.

Regards,
Vadim.
