NAME
Devel::Eval - Allows you to debug string evals
SYNOPSIS
use Devel::Eval 'dval';
dval "print 'Hello World!';";
DESCRIPTION
In the Perl debugger, code created via a string eval is effectively
invisible. You can run it, but the debugger will not be able to display
the code as it runs.
For modules that make heavy use of code generation, this can make
debugging almost impossible.
Devel::Eval provides an alternative to string eval that will do a
string-eval equivalent, except that it will run the code via a temp
file.
Because the eval is being done though a physical file, the debugger will
be able to see this code and you can happily debug your generated code
as you do all the rest of your code.
FUNCTIONS
dval
The "dval" function takes a single parameter that should be the string
you want to eval, and executes it.
Because this is intended for code generation testing, your code is
expected to be safe to run via a 'require' (that is, it should return
true).
