Yes, if by "goes nowhere" you mean "is printed in the GUD buffer"

No.  That's just used by GUD for M-x gdb (in text command mode, as with Emacs

There's:

http://search.cpan.org/src/YEWENBIN/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/lisp/perldb-ui.el

which tries to work with perldb like gdb-ui.el does with gdb in Emacs 22.
