[londonperl] Re: Perl debug and backspace

[David Alban]

Not a solution, like Ash's below, but some additional information.

You could try using ctrl-w rather than backspace.  ctrl-w should cause
a 'word' of input to be erased, if your terminal definition isn't
whacked.

Or you could execute the following while in the debugger:

  !!stty erase <ctrl-v><backspace key>

which would change the terminal definition of erase to your backspace
key.  Or from the command line:

  $ stty erase <ctrl-v><backspace key>

or put that in your .login file.
