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:
--------------

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!
