I am having very little luck running perl under the debugger. I am at patch level 36 but have also tried some of these scripts at PL 44. [ I am on an SGI 4D series running Irix 3.3.1.] What happens it that when I step through a script with the debugger it almost always dies when the script calls a subroutine or attempts to read a file. Sometimes it gets a segmentation fault and dumps core and other times prints the message 'out of memory' and exits. Can any body help?

Tom Christiansen and Larry Wall both have responded saying that this should be fixed at PL 44. So I completed the installation of PL 44 and everything worked fine. i.e. did the make install. I had been running the PL44 version by simply altering #!/... to point to the new version of perl rather than doing a make install to replace all the other bits and pieces. (A bit stupid!) I am now running PL 44 and happy. Thanks to Tom and Larry. Russell. -- Russell Fulton, Computer Center, University of Auckland, New Zealand. <rj_fulton@aukuni.ac.nz>
