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

 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";
