You might be able to set a breakpoint for my_find_image_symbol in
dl_vms.c, then once the image is loaded, set image and additional
breakpoints. But it looks like Scalar::Util is pure Perl, no XS code
involved, so this wouldn't apply.
It looked to me that dualvar was only present in the Util.XS module.
It will probably be a few days before I can really look at it though.
In addition to this, now 3 other tests are failing in yesterday
evening's blead.
In addition, the program that creates .C modules from .XS modules
is placing "#line " directives in the .C source. This badly breaks the

What about setting source to the .XS file? I'm not sure if that
works, but it's worth a try.
It works, but the result is not real usable. :-(
As soon as you do a single step, the debugger is a bit lost.
