            Bug ID: 1129850
           Summary: Perl debugger commands that depend on Padwalker no

         Component: perl
          Severity: high

Description of problem:

When using the Perl command line debugger the "y" and "X" commands no longer
work. (They fail silently.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

perl-5.18.2-289.fc20
perl-PadWalker-1.98-1.fc20.x86_64

How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Debug a test program with "perl -d testprog.pl
2. Use "n" and enter a few lines until a variable you want to examine is
loaded.
3. Use "y" or "X" on that variable.

Actual results:

Nothing returned.

Expected results:

The contents of the variable should be displayed.

Additional info:

The "p" command will print a variable, it is very narrow in scope. It will not
display the contents of an entire hash variable like "X" or "y" will. ("y"
shows the contents of the variable for all types in the current package. "X"
does the same for global variables. Neither work at this point.
