Its use is extremely simple, reduced to just Cing it. This is achieved by modifying the functions C and C in order to replace the standard messages by complete stack traces that precisely indicates how and where the error or warning occurred. Other than this, their use should stay unchanged, even when using C inside C. =head1 OPTIONS Options can be set at import time using: perl -wMDevel::SimpleTrace=option1,option2 or use Devel::SimpleTrace qw(option1 option2); Available options are: =over 4 =item C Using this option will tell C to stringify objects and references passed in argument to C. This option is disabled by default in order to leave objects and references untouched. =back =head1 EXAMPLE For example, C 0.14 suffered from strange warnings, and its author Philippe Bruhat had a hard time trying to understand where they could come from. getsockname() on closed socket Symbol::GEN7 at /System/Library/Perl/darwin/IO/Socket.pm line 186. Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at /Library/Perl/HTTP/Daemon.pm line 53. Hmm.. There's obviously something wrong here, but spotting the right line is not easy. Re-running the same script, unchanged, by just adding C<-MDevel::SimpleTrace> to C arguments produces the following output: getsockname() on closed socket Symbol::GEN7 at IO::Socket::sockname(/System/Library/Perl/darwin/IO/Socket.pm:186) at IO::Socket::INET::sockport(/System/Library/Perl/IO/Socket/INET.pm:231) at HTTP::Daemon::url(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Daemon.pm:52) at HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::get_request(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Daemon.pm:139) at HTTP::Proxy::serve_connections(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Proxy.pm:500) at HTTP::Proxy::start(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Proxy.pm:392) at t::Utils::fork_proxy(t/Utils.pm:72) at main::(t/50standard.t:138) Use of uninitialized value in numeric ne (!=) at HTTP::Daemon::url(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Daemon.pm:53) at HTTP::Daemon::ClientConn::get_request(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Daemon.pm:139) at HTTP::Proxy::serve_connections(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Proxy.pm:500) at HTTP::Proxy::start(/Library/Perl/HTTP/Proxy.pm:392) at t::Utils::fork_proxy(t/Utils.pm:72) at main::(t/50standard.t:138) Aha! Much better. Finding the bug is now a trivial task C<;-)> =head1 DIAGNOSTICS =over 4 =item Unknown option: %s B<(W)> This warning occurs if you try to set an unknown option. =back =head1 CAVEATS This module is currently not compatible with other modules that also work by overriding C and C, like C. =head1 AUTHOR SEbastien Aperghis-Tramoni Esebastien@aperghis.netE =head1 BUGS Please report any bugs or feature requests to C, or through the web interface at L.
