NAME

Od_o - Debug into a Perl Compilers backend options handling

SYNOPSIS

            

              
              
perl -d -MOd_o=Backend[,OPTIONS] foo.pl
Od_o::CODE(0x14d5e00)((eval 9)[lib/Od_o.pm:12]:8):
8:                  &{"B::${backend}::compile"}(@options);
        DB<1> s
B::C::compile(lib/B/C.pm:3159):
3159:     my @options = @_;
            
          

DESCRIPTION

This module is a minor variant to Od to step into the compiler backend option handling.

Od passes through the options at compile-time and steps through the compile method. Od_o passes through the options at run-time but fails to step through the compile method with proper cop settings, i.e. line info.

Think of Od as fast way into the compiler and Od_o as fast way into the option handling part of compile.
