Bug found in Open Perl IDE perl5db.pl module mattsteel 07-30-2008

Hello all.

I'm using this IDE since months, and have to say this is a good IDE,
light, simple, easy to use, but not bug-free ;-)

I found a subtle bug in perl5db.pl module (that is shipped with the
IDE for Windows available from SurceForge);

Trying this piece of script:

my $code =3D sub { print "hello\n" } ;
print "Let's call $code\n";
show/hide quoted text
print "Done.\n";

During a normal debug session, moving the mouse over the variable
$code (that is a code-reference i.e. ref($code) returns CODE), the IDE
show/hide quoted text
listing $code in the =93variable=94 watch-window.

I tried to fix it and patched the perl5db.pl module to handle this
case, so the IDE replies something like
=93$code: code =3D 0x1a81c40=94.

Since the module source is more than 700 lines long, I think useful
giving here the four chunks I added: I simply added another "elsif"
case just before the ending "else", so you should be able to insert
these few lines directly in your dbTemplate.txt in the correct
position.

#within SizeOfDerefValue sub:
} elsif ($refType eq 'CODE') {
return length($reference);

#within ShortEval sub:
} elsif ($refType eq 'CODE') {
$reference =3D~ /\((.*)\)/;
return "code =3D $1";

#within LongEval sub:
} elsif ($refType eq 'CODE') {
$reference =3D~ /\((.*)\)/;
$retValue =3D "code =3D $1";

#within ShowDerefValues sub:
} elsif ($refType eq 'CODE') {
$type =3D "code";
$reference =3D~ /\((.*)\)/;
$value =3D "$1";

I hope this helps.

Regards.

You might want to post this on Sourceforge if that's where the project
is located.
