Finally got around to trying this - here is the output so far:

[rfox at ThinkFox ~]$ gdb perl /usr/bin/net_applet

done.
"/usr/bin/net_applet" is not a core dump: File format not recognized
(gdb) run
Starting program: /usr/bin/perl 
[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

and it just sits there - program doesn't start.

Didn't get very far . . .
