Try setting the TERM environment variable to 'dumb'.

Escape chars in the prompt of perl5db.pl

[Dasn]

Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask this question.

I'm writing a program to communicate with perl debugger. The thing I
found hard to handle is the Escape chars output from the prompt, for
example, on my platform, the "DB<1>" is: 
"[4m  DB<1> [24m[1m"

My question is: Is it possible to turn off these escape chars in perldb,
without changing perl5db.pl?

Thanks, please Cc me.
