[comp.lang.perl] perldb.el is not quite working for me.

I just got a copy of perldb.el for my GNU emacs, and it seems to run fine,
EXCEPT:

perldb.el is not showing my perl source code in the other window.  Even when I
make the perl source be in the other window, perldb.el is not marking the
current line with a "==>".

Does anyone out there have any hints?

One possibility is that your perldb.pl does not support Emacs
interaction.  Check for these lines at the top:

    # modified Perl debugger, to be run from Emacs in perldb-mode
    # Ray Lischner (uunet!mntgfx!lisch) as of 5 Nov 1990
