how to pass -- through perldb

[Yuri Shtil]

Hi

I am trying to debug a perl program that needs to see a double dash (--) 
on the command line. For some reason when I invoke perldb from emacs, it 
gets confused and instead of showing the source in one buffer and the 
debugger interface in the debugger buffer, I see a command line like 
interface in the debugger buffer.

What might be the problem?

Yuri.
