1.107 Release 1.1068 Fixed a minor warning put out by pod2man during installation that's been grating on the terminally pedantic. Data::Dumper is now a requirement for running. This has been included with perl since 5.00505. 1.1067 Fixed a problem where ptkdb would not evaluate an expression such as 'keys %hash' in its expression window. Fixed some problems with balloons coordinate system and made them respond faster. 1.1063 Menu initialization has been 'tuned' up a bit. New handling for closure of window and quit. Beginning to deal with 'reused' addresses. 1.1059 Corrected a bug where vars in the dbval subroutine could eclipse vars that were in targe code 1.1052 Added a configuration option that allows users to change the packing arrangement of the code and notebook panes. Use xresource ptkdb*codeside: left|right|top|bottom Or environmental var PTKDB_CODE_SIDE=left|right|top|bottom See POD section item: PTKDB_CODE_SIDE 1.105 Fixed incorrect evaluation of $@ in expressions. Corrected some formatting issues with the POD section. 1.104 Fixed a conflict with 'qw' and perl 5.004. Fixed a warning issued with perl 5.004 Corrected a problem with where using ptkdb for debugging other ptk apps would cause 'grab' problems. This is version 1.1 of ptkdb, a debugger for perl that uses the perlTk user interface. It features pushbutton controls for run, step-in, step-out, return, controls for breakpoints, expression evaluation and package browsing. Installation: You use the MakeMaker interface: perl Makefile.PL make make install If worse comes to worse you can simply copy the ptkdb.pm file into cp ptkdb.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.xxx/Devel/ptkdb.pm On Windows: copy ptkdb.pm C:\perl\5.x\lib\Devel\ptkdb.pm To Test: perl -d:ptkdb -e 1 Installing Tk: In order to use ptkdb you must first install PerlTk. Using the CPAN module: perl -MCPAN -e "install Tk" Using the Active State PPM Module: ppm > install Tk or retrieve the latest Tk archive from CPAN (Tk800.022 as of this writing) http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-category/08_User_Interfaces/Tk/ UNIX: gunzip Tk800.022.tar.gz tar xf Tk800.022.tar cd Tk800.022 perl Makefile.PL make # This may require su or root permissions make install Win32: # Unix WinZip to extract the Tk archive using Visual C++: perl Makefile.PL nmake nmake install Revision history for Perl extension Devel::ptkdb. 1.1 Mon Dec 7 14:36:17 1998 - original version; created by h2xs 1.18 1.101 Tue Dec 15 16:00 1998 Corrected POD document to change -d:ptkdb1048 to -d:ptkdb Removed Dead code for font specifications and tag configuration that is no longer used Broke up a chained call to Data::Dumper->Terse->Ident into two separate calls to make it compatible with older versions of Data::Dumper
