NAME

POE::Component::DebugShell::Jabber - Component to allow interactive peeking into a running POE application via Jabber

SYNOPSIS

    use POE::Component::DebugShell::Jabber;

    POE::Component::DebugShell::Jabber->spawn(
       jabber_package => 'POE::Component::Jabber::Client::XMPP',
       jabber => {
          IP => 'localhost',
          HOSTNAME => 'localhost',
          PORT => '5222',
          USERNAME => 'bot',
          PASSWORD => 'test', 
       },
       users => {
           'blah@somehost.com' => 1,
       },
    );

DESCRIPTION

This component allows for interactive peeking into a running POE application.

spawn() creates a Jabber client shell equipped with various debug commands. After it connects, stdout and stderr is redirected to all users in the user hash, AND anyone who speaks to the bot. Everyone can issue commands.

The following commands are available.

COMMANDS

show_sessions

 debug> show_sessions
    * 3 [ session 3 (POE::Component::DebugShell::Jabber controller) ]
    * 2 [ session 2 (PIE, PIE2) ]

Show a list of all sessions in the system. The output format is in the form of loggable session ids.

session_stats

 debug> session_stats 2
    Statistics for Session 2
        Events coming from: 1
        Events going to: 1

DEVELOPERS

Note from Matt: For you wacky developers, I've provided access to the raw command data via the _raw_commands method. The underbar at the beginning should let you know that this is an experimental interface for developers only.

_raw_commands returns a hash reference. The keys of this hash are the command names. The values are a hash of data about the command. This hash contains the following data:

  • short_help

    Short help text

  • help

    Long help text

  • cmd

    Code reference for the command. This command requires that a hash be passed to it containing an api parameter, which is a POE::API::Peek object, and an args parameter, which is an array reference of arguments (think @ARGV).
