Subject: Devel::ebug::Console to eager to help - can't dump $hour
Devel::ebug::Console is a bit to eager to print the help text instead of evaluating user input as a prober command. Any command containing an h og ? is viewed as a request for help. This means taht you can't easily dump a variable named $hour. The easy fix would be to reorder the big if-statement in the run function, another fix would be to make the condition stricter like /^[?h]/.

Grrrr, it's broken in 0.48 and *not* fixed as I must have entered.

/^[?h]/. Wow, pretty lame bug. It will be fixed for the next release (0.54). I'll update this ticket once it is fixed. --Brock
