in reply to Perl debugging initialization: did I just reinvent the wheel?

I would avoid using the file name ".perldb" for both types of files. I'd have your ~/.perldb look for a ./.perldbinit file instead. You'll avoid some confusion, including when you try to use the Perl debugger in your home directory.

    ~/.perldb is the only file that -d will read - that's a perl debugger standard. I don't think I can change that.

      Reread what tye suggested: in ~/.perldb, check whether .perldbinit exists (see? No tilde!) and load it if so.

        Thank you for the gentle nudge. I'll give the idea consideration.
