HI Monks,
This question is more for knowledge sake, than for a practical problem i am facing .
Currently for any debugging purposes, i use logging with the useful LogDispatch plugin for my session based CGI::Application.
If the need were to arise, and i need to monitor variables and run time performance of individual lines of code being executed , is there any way i can go about it .
I am aware of Devel::NYTProf which i heard about at perl monger discussions, but i want to know if i can get a user manual/blog post on how to setup a run time debugger for perl web scripts with any graphic ide and a hook to a web server.
My current environment is Eclipse(Aptana IDE) with EPIC which does have a debugger , but i cant seem to get it working. I tried using Padre, and i faced some issues with the Debug client which i have logged on the wiki.However i still cant confirm if the homegrown Padre IDE has a webserver hook.
