PERL debuggers
Are there any free PERL debuggers?

RE: PERL debuggers
Are there any free PERL debuggers? Have you tried use strict and use warnigns in your scripts? Also perl -c script.pl is helpfule and then the perl debugger itself: perl -d I'm sure their's thrid party stuff but I never use any, the above does plenty for my needs.

Re: PERL debuggers
I've created a module that I am planning on eventually releasing to CPAN which provides a good framework for debugging. Basically you can have your code report 4 types of warnings: INFO WARNING ERROR FATAL_ERROR You can also assign a class to each and turn on or off all of one type or all of one subclass of one type. Everything either records to a log file or prints to STDERR, and I am going to (eventually) add the capability to e-mail the log of errors to an admin. (So if you create a program and your users do something unexpected you can have them send you a readout of exactly what happened). And I've got a bunch of other ideas (i.e. HTML output) that I may implement when I finally manage to getting around to see if I can put it on CPAN. It's written in pure perl and GPLed. e-mail me if you'd like me to send you over a copy. It's still being developed though. -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response
Re: PERL debuggers
I'd like to add that it's not a debugger like the one someone else posted for stepping through your code and setting breakpoints. It's designed to allow you to create a log with the state of your script and what has been done, so that way you can have somebody who is not a programmer and who is using your script send you the log (because, of course, most of those type of people can't debug with you over the phone). :-D -Dan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response

Certainly not trying to discredit your efforts, just spreading the log4perl wealth, I have found it incredibly robust while at the same time being complex enough to handle some intricate tasks. http://log4perl.sf.net For more information, be sure to check out the retire your debugger article Good luck, http://danconia.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/ http://learn.perl.org/first-response
