NAME

Padre::Debugger - client side code for perl debugger

SYNOPIS

  use Padre::Debugger;
  my $debugger = Padre::Debugger->new(host => $host, port => $port);
  $debugger->listen;

  # this is the point where the external script need to be launched
  # first setting 
      # $ENV{PERLDB_OPTS} = "RemotePort=$host:$port"
  # then running
      # perl -d script
 
  my $out = $debugger->get;

  $out = $debugger->step_in;

  $out = $debugger->step_over;


  my ($module, $file, $row, $content, $prompt) = $debugger->step_in;
  my ($module, $file, $row, $content, $prompt, $return_value) = $debugger->step_out;
  my ($value, $prompt) = $debugger->get_value('$x');

Other planned methods:

 $debugger->set_watch
 $debugger->set_breakpoint
 $debugger->remove_watch
 $debugger->remove_breakpoint

 $debugger->get_stack_trace
 $debugger->run   (c in the debugger)

 $debugger->execute_code

 $debugger->watch_variable   (to make it easy to display values of variables)

DESCRIPTION

It is currently in the Padre namespace but it does not have any Padre related code so at one point it will be renamed. For now I want it to be out to be tested by the CPAN Testers.
