I updated to 5.8 recently and have found one thing that is an annoyance in the debugger. Previously you could be stopped at a breakpoint and type "d" to delete the break point. Now it seems you have to type "B line_num" which is a real pain.

Not sure if this was by design or a problem.

This is a bug report for perl from warren.dodge@​tek.com\, generated with the help of perlbug 1.34 running under perl v5.8.0.

\ I updated to 5.8 recently and have found one thing that is an annoyance in the debugger. Previously you could be stopped at a breakpoint and type "d" to delete the break point. Now it seems you have to type "B line_num" which is a real pain.

Not sure if this was by design or a problem.

This is by design\, the docs (h and h h) describe the new (consistent) behaviour\, and it was discussed on p5p.

Robert\, you can close this as a non-bug\, if you like\, (I've forgotten my uid/pass again :-)

Richard Foley Ciao - shorter than Aufwiedersehen

ps. sorry about the ubs sig. (below) - can't get rid of it\, for the moment :-\

Well all I know is this new way causes me to debug slower. Always having to look at the line number and type it in.

Why not let just a "B" delete the break point at the current lineif one was there.

Ditto for other commands that do this like "A"

Just the thoughts of a user.

As you can tell I really liked the old "d" command

Perhaps there is a way to configure this? GDB has the init file where things can be defined. Does perl have anything like this?
