This allows the programmer to look at the execution stack and variables to
find out the cause of the exception. As the debugger is being invoked as
the Perl interpreter is about to do a fatal exit, continuing the execution
-in debug mode is usally not practical.
+in debug mode is usually not practical.
Starting Perl in the VMS debugger may change the program execution
profile in a way that such problems are not reproduced.

-string, the logical name's translation is defined as a single NUL

An element of the CRTL C<environ> array can be set only if your

The translations for these logical names are prepended with a
