Tastes differ.  But it would not be hard to beaf up the output of
B::Terse to match the info of -Dx.

use Devel::Peek;	      # should not be needed with -DDEBUGGING perl

Then call Perl_sv_dump(sv) inside your C debugger.  This probably
will not work on systems with link-time dynamic linking, since
Devel::Peek's DLL most probably is not exporting Perl_sv_dump
