I think that 'perl -d' needs to have Term::Readline to be installed to provide line editing. Otherwise you could use DDD, which provides an ugly but functional GUI to gdb, and perl -d. Or ptkdb which is better IMO ('perl -d ptkdb', requires the module and Tk).

This is what I do to get that functionality:

    rlwrap perl -dee
