Bug#668490: perl: the debugger should use x-terminal-emulator instead of xterm

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-9

The upstream ticket [perl #112382] and the resulting discussion at
 http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.perl5.porters/2012/04/msg185435.html
alerted me to the fact that perl5db.pl hardcodes xterm when starting a
separate debugger instance for child processes.

I think this should be x-terminal-emulator on Debian, at least until
it's replaced by something better upstream.
