What I can't get working is the extended debugging promised by the Devel::Leak documentation. All I get is a count, and from CheckSV, the cryptic "new 0x5a18b0".
#! /usr/bin/debugperl -w use strict; use warnings; use Devel::Leak; my $foo; my $countdown = 10; while($countdown--) { my $count = Devel::Leak::NoteSV($foo); print "$count"; <>; my $bar; $bar = \$bar; } my $count = Devel::Leak::CheckSV($foo); print "End $count\n";
Prints
2600 2601 2602 2603 2604 2605 2606 2607 2608 2609 new 0x5a18b0 : End 2610
Even though I've got a debugging perl from Debian:
debugperl -V Summary of my perl5 (revision 5 version 8 subversion 8) Characteristic +s of this binary (from libperl): Compile-time options: DEBUGGING MULTIPLICITY PERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT PERL_MALLOC_WRAP THREADS_HAVE_PIDS USE_64_BIT_ +ALL USE_64_BIT_INT USE_ITHREADS USE_LARGE_FILES USE_PERLIO USE_REENTRANT_API
What I can't get working is the sv_dump() mentioned in the Devel::Leak documentation. And when I'm debugging a 100000+ line plus application, that will be crucial.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
