I don't really see the point of your module.

Good point. However, as I mentioned, this is a simplified test case and therefore is taken drastically out of context. This is actually some work I'm doing on this module, the POD of which can be read here.

Essentially, the programmer often has the problem of trying to debug CGI programs that require cookies, secure connections, or any of a variety of circumstances that make debugging from the command line problematic. With the module I've been working on, they can dump all sorts of useful data to a separate browser window (variable values, traces of function calls, caller information, etc). I am aware of the Vars function, but that didn't suit my needs in this case.
