A modular, testable debugger in the style of the Ruby "Trepanning" debuggers.
From a shell:
bash$ trepan.pl [trepan-opts] perl-program [perl-program-opts]
Or for those who prefer the traditional Perlish way:
bash$ perl -d:Trepan perl-program [perl-program-opts]
Calling the debugger from inside your Perl program using Joshua ben Jore's Enbugger:
# This needs to be done once and could even be in some sort of conditional code
require Enbugger; Enbugger->load_debugger( 'trepan' );
# work, work, work...
# Oops! there was an error! Enable the debugger now!
Enbugger->stop; # or Enbugger->stop if ...
To install this Devel::Trepan, run the following commands:
perl Build.PL
make
make test
[sudo] make install
