DESCRIPTION

The Devel::TestEmbed module loads Test::More for you, allowing you to use its functions to test code; you may then save the tests you used in this debugger session via the tdump function.

If needed, you may save "setup" code in the test as well by entering a comment at the debugger prompt after each line of such code.

The module defines an afterinit and watchfunction; you will need to take this into account if you wish to defined either of these yourself while using this function. See perldoc perl5db.pl for more informaton on these routines.

BUGS

Package switching is not captured at the moment.
