my OS info as below
SunOS 5.10 Generic_118822-30 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Fire-V440
Have you dropped the equivalent of /usr/lib/perl/perl-5.16.0/lib/5.16.0 from @INC? If that’s not there, then the debugger can’t run it to get the ‘x’ output.

will print out the directory dumpvar.pl lives in, and you can check @INC in the program you’re trying to debug to see if the @INC entry for that library has been dropped.
