All of these are valid points.  I assumed you were debugging your own
code/could easily modify the files you were trying to debug.

So, my answer to your question is this:  if you really need to do
this, then the way that you are doing this is just fine, and I
wouldn't expect that it would break anytime.  %DB::postponed is an
established interface to the debugger; you can use it if you need to.

PS  I don't see a way to disable a breakpoint under the Perl debugger,
    either.
