DDD startup errors (when launchind perl inferior debugger)

Hi,

I am having troubles getting DDD to start and run the Perl debugger correctly.

The log file show me that it is setting various options incorrectly by using lowercase “o” and not upper case “O” .

I.e: o onaments instead of

O ornaments

Etc.

It seems that DDD is confused as to which inferior debugger it is running.

When running I can set a breakpoint (i.e. b 2), but deleting a breakpoint runs the wrong command, (i.e: “B 2” instead of “d 2”)

The log I have is thus;
