I have found a small error when using perl with -d option.  On startup
perl would complain about syntax error in perldb.pl.  Sure enough I
found a line

$header =~ s/\$Header: perldb.pl,v 3.0 89/10/18 15:19:46 lwall Locked $/$1$2/;

The fix is to change it to something like

$header =~ s|\$Header: perldb.pl,v 3.0 89/10/18 15:19:46 lwall Locked $|$1$2|;
