breaking apart program (and maybe DProf prob)

smackdab has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Monks,

On Windows:
I am currently doing this and wonder if it a good technique...it has been working for me...

I probably wouldn't be asking about this except that I am trying to get my program to use -d:DProf and, while I CAN T prove it, it *seems* like DProf doesn't like this syntax 100% of the time. I get random crashes and *think* it might be related..anyone know how to get debug info out of this before the GP fault?

FILE=prog.pl
{
  our $var1 = 'hi';
  our $var2;
 
FILE=subs/input.pm
{
  if ($main::var1 =~ //)

FILE=subs/output.pm
{
  if ($main::var1 =~ //)

I don't like long source files and I want something similar for this type code and for OO modules. thanks!!!

Couple of thoughts: I don't know whether you noticed that `$a =~ //` matches anything, It evaluates to true even if $a is undef, although in this case a warning would be given. Not sure about your purpose of doing this. Use $main::var1 in an OO-style module violates the purpose of OO/encapsulation.	[reply] [d/l]

I've had random crashes with DProf in many programs that otherwise worked fine. I don't particularly trust the module, preferring Devel::SmallProf. I seem to recall p5p discussions that came to similar conclusions, but don't know if it's been fixed in recent months.	[reply]
