That will not work because wperl runs without a terminal, so you never
get to see the debug output. What I did is copy "start-zim.cmd" to
"start-zim-debug.cmd", added the "--debug" switch in there and changed
the call to "wperl.exe" into a call to "perl.exe". That way it does
run with terminal output.
