Tk::ObjScanner is a Perl/Tk module that provides a GUI to scan any perl data including the
attributes of an object.
The scanner is a composite widget made of a HList. This widget acts as
a scanner to the object (or hash ref) passed with the 'caller'
parameter. The scanner will retrieve all keys of the hash/object and
insert them in the HList.
When the user double clicks on a key, the corresponding value will be
added in the HList. If the user use the middle button to open a tied
item, the internals of the tied object will be displayed.
If the value is a scalar, the scalar will be displayed in a popup text
window.
If the value is a code ref, the deparsed code will be displayed in a
popup text window.
This widget can be used as a regular widget in a Tk application or can
be used as an autonomous popup widget that will display the content of
a data structure. The latter is like a call to a graphical
Data::Dumper.
The scanner recognizes:
- tied hashes arrays or scalars
- weak reference (See weaken function of Scalar::Util for details)
**Pseudo-hashes are deprecated**
This module was tested with perl5.8.2 and Tk 804.025 (beta). But
should work with older versions of perl (> 5.6.1) or Tk.
See the embedded documentation in the module for more details.
**Note** that test program (in the 't' directory) can be run interactively
this way :
```
perl t/xxx.t 1
```
### Installation
