Devel::ebug::Wx - GUI interface for your (d)ebugging needs

  # it's easier to use the 'ebug_wx' script
  my $app = Wx::SimpleApp->new;
  my $wx = Devel::ebug::Wx->new( { argv => \@ARGV } );
  $wx->Show;
  $app->MainLoop;

Devel::ebug::Wx is a GUI front end to Devel::ebug.

The core is a publisher/subscriber wrapper around Devel::ebug (Devel::ebug::Wx::Publisher) plus a plugin system for defining menu commands and keyboard bindings (Devel::ebug::Wx::Command::*) and views (Devel::ebug::Wx::View::*).

The wxWidgets Advanced User Interface (AUI) is used, so it is possible to dock/undock and arrange views.

* make a saner interface for plugins

command is just an action (coderef) with a string id command description ties commands to the CommandManager to create menus

* define a service interface

for example for code-viewing, gui management, view management allow enabling/disabling services, commands, views auto-disable commands/views/services with clashing identifiers

* configuration interface

allow a configuration view to configure multiple objects (by explicit registration)

* notebooks

better editing interface better debugging; edge cases still present, esp. at load time rethink container view interface and the whole concept of multiviews

* better handling for program termination

visual feedback in the main window disable commands/etc when they do not make sense

* the command manager must allow dynamic menus

command returns a (subscribable) handle that can be used to poll/listen to changes explict use of update_ui is an hack!

* break on subroutine, undo, watchpoints

* show pad, show package variables, show packages

* see the FIXMEs
