Anyways, being able to actually debug irssi scripts would be nice... Is this an irssi-specific problem? Is debugging Perl embedded into another program in a way similar as in irssi rather unexplored territory, or is it really supposed to work? Perhaps it's because irssi (glib) controls the main loop and not Perl? Regards, Wouter.

Debug Perl embedded in irssi
Hi, Irssi is an IRC client using Perl for scripting. I'm trying to attach a debugger to its embedded Perl. I'm using PERLDB_OPTS="RemotePort=127.0.0.1:5000" to let it connect to a socket. Running and debugging a perl script started in the "normal" way works fine: "perl -d -e 0" connects to the socket and I can control the debugger from there. Now I changed irssi so that the arguments it passes to perl_parse and PERL_SYS_INIT3 include "-d". Then when starting irssi, it connects to the socket, and prints its usual "Loading DB routines"... "Enter h"... But when I give any command (including "h") it doesn't respond. The irssi (and its Perl scripts) continue to run fine. Someone an idea of what could be going wrong? Thanks. Wouter.
