NAME Carp::Source - Warn of errors with stack backtrace and source context VERSION version 1.101420 SYNOPSIS use Carp::Source 'source_cluck'; source_cluck 'some error'; source_cluck 'some error', lines => 5, number => 0, color => 'yellow on_blue'; DESCRIPTION This module exports one function, "source_cluck()", which prints stack traces with source code extracts to make it obvious what has been called from where. It does not work for one-liners because there is no file from which to load source code. FUNCTIONS source_cluck source_cluck 'some error'; source_cluck 'some error', lines => 5, number => 0, color => 'yellow on_blue'; Like Carp's "cluck()", but it also displays the source code context of all call frames, with three lines before and after each call being shown, and the call being highlighted. It takes as arguments a string (the error message) and a hash of options. The following options are recognized: "lines" Number of lines to display before and after the line reported in the stack trace. Defaults to 3. "number" Boolean value to indicate whether line numbers should be printed at the beginning of the context source code lines. Defaults to yes. "color" The color in which to print the source code line reported in the stack trace. It has to be a string that Term::ANSIColor understands. Defaults to "black on_yellow". This is just a quick hack - not all of "Carp"'s or even just "cluck()"'s features are present. The code borrows heavily from "Carp". caller_info FIXME format_arg FIXME format_line FIXME get_context FIXME get_subname FIXME longmess_heavy FIXME ret_backtrace FIXME source_cluck FIXME str_len_trim FIXME INSTALLATION See perlmodinstall for information and options on installing Perl modules.
