Devel::file - show source lines around errors and warnings

VERSION

Top

Version 0.01 - alpha, more of a sketch that a module

SYNOPSIS

Top

    $ perl -d:file -we 'eval { 12/1 };' -e '/a/;' -e 'die 123'
    Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.
    =W=  -e:1
      1=> eval { 12/1 };
      2:  /a/;
    ...
    Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at -e line 2.
    =W=  -e:2
      1:  eval { 12/1 };
      2=> /a/;
      3:  die 123
    ...
    123 at -e line 3.
    =E=  -e:3
      2:  /a/;
      3=> die 123
    ...

    perl -d:file script.pl
    PERL5OPT='-d:file' script.pl
    perl -MDevel::file script.pl # run without debugger

DESCRIPTION

Top

Devel::file appends source code to warnings and fatal errors as a potential debugging aid. It provides handlers for die and warn in order to do this.

This module is still in alpha and is liable to change.
