thank you very much for the kick.
put my head in the books per say and know understand your response.
Q1, I know understand my patch was a quick hack, but the issue is
that perl -d will still die, could in not just warn instead?
Q2, perl5db.pl still needs to have it's changes added, including
those that did not make the delta.
# Changes: 1.34:
