Undefined subroutine in perl debugger only on letter [t]

[Kelvin <kelvin at allandrews dot org>]

Using perl v5.8.7-5 under Cygwin 1.5.24:

I'm trying to use the perl debugger and it terminates whenever I want to 
use the letter 't'.  It's the strangest thing.  When I press 't' 
(without <cr> and only lowercase) I get:

--------------
       Undefined subroutine readline::F_MenuComplete at 
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 1843 at 
/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/SelfLoader.pm line 34

line 2203
       DB::DB called at test1.pl line 3
Debugged program terminated.  Use q to quit or R to restart
--------------

All other letters work on the debugger command line, but as soon as I 
press 't' (anywhere on the line), the debugger instantly fails with the 
above output.  So, it won't let me toggle trace or output variables that 
have a 't' in the name. 

I tried reinstalling and installing previous perl version (v5.8.6-4); no 
luck.

I haven't seen any mention of this as a common problem in the forums and 
mailing lists.  So, I would suspect there is something screwy with my 
installation or I'm missing something embarrassingly obvious.

I'm debugging my code in Linux for the meantime (working around 
references to win32 api).  I would greatly appreciate any assist!
