Or environment.

The warning

| Use of uninitialized value in subroutine entry at t/lib/Debugger.pm line 84

is from:

    78  # the debugger loads custom settings from
    79  # a .perldb file. If the user has it, some
    80  # test outputs might go boo boo.
    81  sub rc_file {
    82      require File::HomeDir;
    83      require File::Spec;
    84      return -e File::Spec->catfile(
    85          File::HomeDir->my_home,
    86          '.perldb'
    87      );
    88  }

Hm, seems like we're not setting $HOME in debian/rules here.

Done in git now.

(In my first try, I forgot the mkdir, and got the same warning +
error as you. Could be a good sign.)

Maybe my change in d/rules already is enough ...
Please try it, since I cannot easily :)

Cheers,
