I have some compiled libraries i.e. shared library (*.so) on x86 Linux and I want to quickly determine whether they were compiled with debugging symbols (i.e with -g/debug option) or not.

How can I use the Perl debugger’s *supported* editor?
The Perl debugger always says: “Editor support available”. I believe every one can see this, but how can I use it? By the way, I got the above prompt on a Linux/Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) machine.

how do I find out what program’s on the other end of a local socket?
A process on my Linux system, strace tells me, is talking on a socket which has file descriptor 10. lsof tells me that this is a unix socket with inode 11085, and netstat further tells me that inode 11085 a stream socket, and that it’s connected. Given that this process doesn’t have any other threads, there must therefore be another
