You can do this.  Either before or after typing `mms install` just type:

   delete perl_root:[lib]perl5db.pl;*

and blammo your ability to run `perl -d script` is severely crippled.

There are however two other levels of debugging available to a vms perl:
compile with CC/DEBUG and link with LINK/DEBUG to get VMS DEBUG symbols,
and/or compile the perl source with a special /DEFINE(DEBUGor somesuch) so
that the C code for perl has an introspective ability of some sort (that I've 
not used).
