The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Debug::Fork::Tmux
DSLIP: bdppb
description: Makes fork() in debugger to open a new Tmux

chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)

rationale:
The Perl's standard debugger perl5db.pl requires pseudo-terminal
device to debug the code where the fork() built-inm use to be found.
Typically the problem solution is about an xterm, the X11 client.
But it's a rare case when X11 is to be present/found on a server no
matter if it's a development, test or a production one. Trivially
it's not recommended to keep X11 or any kind of a GUI on a server
except the cases when it is required for a particular task the
server itself is running for.
So the pseudo-terminal device isn't much about GUIs by its nature
so the problem behind the bars of the perl5db.pl report ( see more
detailed problem description at the PerlMonks thread ) is the
consoles management. It's a kind of a tricky, for example, to start
the next ssh session initiated from the machine serving as an sshd
server for the existing session. Thus we kind of have to give a
chance to the consoles management with a software capable to run on
a server machine without as much dependencies as an xterm. This
module is a try to pick the Tmux windows manager for such a task.
