NAME
Devel::ModuleBreaker - set breakpoints for every subroutine in a namespace simultaneously
VERSION
0.02
SYNOPSIS
$ perl -d:ModuleBreaker=Module1,Another::Module2 script_to_debug.plDESCRPITION
Devel::ModuleBreaker seeks to simplify the process of settings breakpoints in a collection of subroutines from one or more modules, without having to enumerate the list of subroutines in the modules.
This module was inspired by a StackOverflow question.
This distribution also comes with the packages
- Devel::SubBreaker
-
to automatically set breakpoints in any compile-time subroutine whose name matches a regular expression
- Devel::FileBreaker
-
to automatically set breakpoints in any compile-time subroutine loaded from a filename that matches a regular expression
USAGE
To use this module, pass this command-line argument to perl
-d:ModuleBreaker=pattern[,pattern2[,...]]where pattern, pattern2, etc. are any valid perl regular expressions. In the CHECK phase of the program, a breakpoint will be set at the start of any subroutine whose fully qualified subroutine name (given by %DB::sub) matches one of the given regular expressions. This includes anonymous subroutines that are known at compile time.
EXAMPLES
Set a breakpoint in all subs just in module
Floop::Blert:perl -d:ModuleBreaker=Floop::Blert ...
