This seems to fix the problem; it just adds ":utf8" to the debugger's output filehandle. This is a fix vs. the 5.8.6 debugger source (don't have blead installed at the moment). Unable to tell if this is going to cause problems for people who actually dump non-Unicode binary to their debugger output... --- Joe M. ------------8<------------ --- /Users/joe/Documents/SD2-Downloads/perl5db.pl Fri Jun 3 14:48:08 2005 +++ /Users/joe/Documents/perl5db.pl Fri Jun 3 14:44:17 2005 @@ -1725,6 +1725,7 @@ || open( OUT, ">$o" ) || open( OUT, ">&STDERR" ) || open( OUT, ">&STDOUT" ); # so we don't dongle stdout + binmode OUT, ":utf8"; } ## end if ($console) elsif ( not defined $console ) { @@ -1735,6 +1736,7 @@ # merge with STDERR, or with STDOUT. open( OUT, ">&STDERR" ) || open( OUT, ">&STDOUT" ); # so we don't dongle stdout + binmode OUT, ":utf8"; $console = 'STDIN/OUT'; } ## end elsif (not defined $console)
