perl -d startproblem 1

Hi!

I cannot start the perl debugger.

perl -d test.pl
Default die handler restored.
Could not create socket to connect to remote host. at D:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl lin
e 429.
Compilation failed in require.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.


My OS is WinNT4.0 and here a snapshot from the system:

Annoying...

My first instinct would be to re-install (latest version of) Perl; have you done that?

Yes, i tried newer versions of perl, but there is always
the same failure.

Ok...

Do you have another machine with a more recent version of Windows you could try the same thing on?

Does every script you try and debug fail or just this one?

I have now installed perl version 629.
This version runs on a another machine very well.
Debugging is also ok with the same scripts.

The problem is locally on my machine.
Every script makes the same failure.

I see no entry 127.0.0.1:2000 with netstat -n.
Maybe is here the problem?

Sounds like it -- bit disappointing if NT4 is already unsuported by bits of Perl 5...

The solution of the startproblem is to remove the variable
PERLDB_OPTS="RemotePort=127.0.0.1:2000".

I removed the variable with the regedit.

The perl debugger works now very well.

How cool is that? And thanks for posting it zifko.
