Re^2: Using Data::Printer from the Perl debugger

Thanks! Interestingly, the documentation specifies putting this into .perldb:

$DB::alias{px} = 's/px/DB::px/';
sub px {
    my $expr = shift;
    require Data::Printer;
    print Data::Printer::p($expr);
}
[download]

Which causes $expr to be printed twice, once colorized, and once uncolorized, as one might expect. Changing that last line to

Data::Printer::p($expr);
[download]

fixes it.

IMHO someone should file a bug report with both modules. I think one of the authors had the behavior of Data::Dump::pp() in mind which doesn't print by itself when called in a non void context. And the other one just copied the doc without testing. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the 𐍀𐌴𐍂𐌻 Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

I'll be glad to, but I haven't done so before. Could you point me in the right direction?	[reply]

Different authors prefer different channels, normally expressed on CPAN. This one wants GitHub issues From https://metacpan.org/dist/Data-Printer/contribute > The main place to discuss about DDP's bugs and features is Github's ticketing system. --> https://github.com/garu/Data-Printer/issues/ I'm afraid you'll need a github account for that.

I found this issue and have been trying to adopt DB::Pluggable for a couple of years now. The version on CPAN is not the same as the one in github. I have a version that fixes the issue. https://github.com/kcaran/DB-Pluggable	[reply]
