> From Bugzilla Helper: 
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux

Description of problem:
When starting a program with the perl debugger, the program crashes.
This is because of an error in file /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.5/perl5db.pl

On line 5814 of the file there is a line that reads 
my $rv = $ENV{PERLDB_NOTTY} || ( $ENV{HOME} ? $ENV{HOME} : /tmp )
."/perldbtty$$";

The /tmp should be in quotes

my $rv = $ENV{PERLDB_NOTTY} || ( $ENV{HOME} ? $ENV{HOME} : "/tmp" )
."/perldbtty$$";

That fixes the problem





Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
perl-5.8.5-22.FC3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
perl -d anyprogram
