Adefaria-lt:ls /etc/bash_completion.d/perl
ls: cannot access /etc/bash_completion.d/perl: No such file or directory
Adefaria-lt:ls /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/perl
/usr/share/bash-completion/completions/perl
Adefaria-lt:

I think you mean /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/perl... I think 
the problem is that it's parsing the next token after -d and -dt looking 
for :debugger and never things that maybe there's no debugger name (see 
perldoc perldebug).
