In the test code, lines 4 and 5 comprise a substitution operator. With delimiter pairs for the match and replace clauses, the operator allows whitespace between the clauses (with the single ';' terminating the operator on line 5). And, in fact, the code runs in the debugger (and without the debugger) just fine. It's just the debugger that, it seems, isn't parsing the line, and mis-numbering subsequent lines.
I tried again on a Debian Linux, with Perl 5.28.1 and perl5db.pl 1.5.3. It doesn't show the problem. Maybe that's a clue: I can compare perl5db.pl code from the two machines. I'll report back.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
