versions I'm using:

perl 5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
Open Perl IDE 1.0.11.409a

A couple notes that may help.  I'm somewhat n00bish myself, however, so your
mileage may vary:

1) You were adding code to the "HelloWorld.pl" file and not the "perl5db.pl"
file, right?  I didn't look too thoroughly, but perl5db.pl ought to be part
of the openperlide debugger, and is not necessarily example code.  Also,
"perl -w perl5db.pl" doesn't compile for me when I try to run it from the
command line, whether modified or unmodified.  I get the idea that it wasn't
exactly meant to be run on it's own, without being called from some other
library, especially with warnings turned on.

2) if you've got warnings turned on, you need to declare your variables with
"my" before using them.  Replacing

@SomeList = (8, ' eight ', 9, ' nine');
@TenList = (10, ' ten ');

with

my @SomeList = (8, ' eight ', 9, ' nine');
my @TenList = (10, ' ten ');

should do it.

Also, could you turn of HTML formatting in your emails?  As you can see,
it's a little hard to read.

Hope this helps.
