Severity: high
Priority: normal

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux
i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050922 Fedora/1.0.7-1.1.fc3 Firefox/1.0.7
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):
