The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: Devel::Messenger
DSLIP: bdpfp
description: Let Your Code Talk to You
userid: KOLIBRIE (Nathan Gray)
chapterid: 3 (Development_Support)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
rationale:
Many modules have error-handling and debug messages. I have found
no consistent way of implementing debug messages.
Devel::Messenger is an attempt to provide a simple debugging
message interface. One function, 'note', is defined. A note can
either print, warn, append to a file, or return a string. If the
first parameter to 'note' is a SCALAR reference, the reference is
interpretted as the debug level at which it should activate.
Using notes in modules, particularly when activated by the test
scripts, can generate a log of what occurs in testing, and help the
programmer find the errors behind the elusive 'not ok.'
I hope to add the ability to run: perl -d:Messenger script.pl on a
script, since that might be useful also. (I might need some help
with that, if perldebguts doesn't instruct me sufficiently.)
