Whenever I run a script in the debugger which sets the path\, the debugger hangs​:

  % perl -de 0   DB\<1> $ENV{PATH}="/bin​:/usr/bin​:/usr/local/bin";

and it hangs. It runs fine when run not in the debugger​:

  % perl -e '$ENV{PATH}="/bin​:/usr/bin​:/usr/local/bin";'

Like what? No DB\<2>? Or what?

I think you do not have Term​::ReadKey installed\, so that calls to stty are used by Term​::ReadLine.
