This is a bug report for perl from xlat@cpan.org,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.16.0.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
[Please describe your issue here]
I was running "perl -de1" to enter into the debugger and was
unable to got it's prompt and cpu/memory usage were growing up.
I finnaly found that a file c:\dev\tty was existing on my system
(must be a mistake outside of perl).
If I delete this file the debugger ran as expected.

It is because in perl5db.pl at line 1399 a test for '-e /dev/tty'
doesn't care that '$^O eq MSWin32' and use '/dev/tty' it rather
than 'con' for the $console.

Thanks.
