64bit perl debugger

It turns out Active Perl does not support 64bit debugger in 64 bit windows under PDK. From here:
The PDK's debugger was written for 32-bit Windows only. It's not available on ANY other platform, hence the 64-bit Windows PDK does not include a debugger. This has been documented in the release notes since the first 64-bit Windows PDK appeared (PDK 8.0).
There are no plans to update the PDK debugger, since a viable (and better) alternative exists in Komodo IDE. If you want a debugger for 64-bit, the multi-platform, multi-language Komodo IDE debugger is our suggested choice.
But still we can install 32 bit Active Perl for windows and use an older version of PDK (version 6 works).
