Laura is right, I'm not on that list, so feel free to forward this
back.
The Cygwin version, older non-ActivePerl Windows/DOS versions, and any
Unix version I've seen do give us sufficient access, inasmuch as they
present themselves in console windows. I'm surprised to hear that a
console window is not an option for ActivePerl, but I don't use that
environment. Maybe there's a way to disable the GUI part permanently
or temporarily? The basic debugging support has nothing to do with
presentation, so it seems to me that ActivePerl is stacking something
inaccessible on top of something that does not natively present us any
problems.
Good luck, in any case--and if you can't find a way in ActivePerl, try
Cygwin, or MacOS with ssh, or something like that.

If you use perl -d under Active Perl, it starts the Perl Debugger which is a
program with a graphical interface, but which is unaccessible for us
unfortunately.
