Darndest thing ever, fellow monks. I was playing with the
perl -d test.pl debugger, and it failed with an odd looking error about connecting to localhost. Of course, I assumed it was my
test.pl script, but it aint. Join me below the readmore tag for hot code action.
C:\perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread
C:\>more test.pl
#!perl
use strict;
my $var = 'Beard\n';
print $var;
C:\>perl -d test.pl
Unable to connect to remote host: 127.0.0.1:2000
Compilation failed in require.
main::BEGIN() called at C:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl line 0
eval {...} called at C:/Perl/lib/perl5db.pl line 0
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted.
Thanks for any input, I really dont even know where to begin (ha!) on this one. Of course the
test.pl is irrelevant, but why on earth is the debugger attempting a connection?
