That should probably tell you something ;) Perhaps you should switch
to GNU Emacs; I know there's more involved than just wanting to do
it. Support for GNU Emacs (as you're experiencing) is all-around
better and Emacs lisp packages are generally designed for Emacs unless
otherwise specified; in my experience most of the packages for XEmacs
were quite out of date.

I have a few ideas:
Perhaps the Windows implementations of these debuggers and
interpreters doesn't cooperate well with Emacs. I came to expect this
when I was using Emacs and there are good design rationale differences
(Windows is *not* Unix).
My other idea is that what you want is a customized comint[1] mode (a
major mode) for these debuggers and interpreters; also, if available
try M-x ansi-term, in which you can run any interactive environment.
Does anyone know of a Python or Perl Debugger mode? If nobody does,
you could be the one to write it.

Footnotes:
[1] Co-mint mode is like Double-mint, except with sage and wintergreen
instead of mint. Actually it stands for "command interpreter."
