[wxperl-users] Patch for debugging wxPerl

[Peter G. <pe...@pg...>]

I have found that when I use the perl debugger to debug wxPerl programs,
the program hangs when I quit using 'q'.

What I now do is to set up the environment variable PERL_QUIT_KILL. I
patched perl5db.pl for the 'q' command, so that it kills itself rather
than exit.

It seems to work on Linux and Windows.

Comments?


          	$cmd =~ /^q$/ && do {
		    if ($ENV{PERL_QUIT_KILL}) { 
			kill 9, $$ ; 
		    } 
                    $fall_off_end = 1;
                    clean_ENV();
                    exit $?;
                };
