Re: [perl #20218] perl -d now an order of magnitude slower 5.6.0 -> 5.8.0

I have altered the data sufficiently to hide the truth :-) So you can
download the tarfile from:

   http://www.tobit.co.uk/download/eventpos.tar.gz 

It will untar into a directory called 'try', cd into and try:-

   ./eventpos.pl xaa

then try:
    
   perl -d eventpos.pl xaa

I hope you find the difference as startling as I did!

Please Note: Some Quantum Physics Theories Suggest That When the
Consumer Is Not Directly Observing This Product, It May Cease to
Exist or Will Exist Only in a Vague and Undetermined State.
