Unable to restart in Perl debugger


I believe I asked this before but didn't hear any solutions. When debugging in Perl often I need restart the debugger. However when I do so I get:

Use `q' to quit or `R' to restart.  `h q' for details.
 DB<1> R
Warning: some settings and command-line options may be lost!

Daughter DB session started...
######### Forked, but do not know how to create a new TTY. #########
 Since two debuggers fight for the same TTY, input is severely entangled.

I know how to switch the output to a different window in xterms
and OS/2 consoles only. For a manual switch, put the name of the created TTY
in $DB::fork_TTY, or define a function DB::get_fork_TTY() returning this.


 On UNIX-like systems one can get the name of a TTY for the given window
 by typing tty, and disconnect the shell from TTY by sleep 1000000.

main::(reregister:17): my $windows = $ENV{OS} =~ /[Ww]indows/ ? "yes" : "no";
[4080->4080] DB<0>

I played a blank tape on full volume. The mime who lived next door complained. So I shot him with a gun with a silencer.
