Perl debugger sometimes tries to call a non-existent subroutine
db_warn. It's real name is _db_warn, though.

How to replicate:

perl -d -e1
!/

Output:

/bin/bash: /: Is a directory
Undefined subroutine &DB::db_warn called at /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.1/perl5db.pl line 6740.
at /usr/lib/perl5/5.18.1/perl5db.pl line 6740.

b5679dc clearly had a few typos in it. That 5.16 had no ! command is unrelated.
