    $listener->listen;

    while (my $client = $listener->accept) {
        # set a conditional breakpoint that never triggers,
        # but has side-effects in the condition
        $command = 'require Data::Dumper; print Data::Dumper::Dumper($var);';
        $res = $client->send_command(
            'breakpoint_set', '-t', 'conditional',
                              '-f', 'file:///path/to/file.pl',
