DESCRIPTION

Wx::Perl::DataWalker implements a Wx::Frame subclass that shows a relatively simple Perl data structure browser. After opening such a frame and supplying it with a reference to an essentially arbitrary data structure, you can visually browse it by double-clicking references.

So far, there is no tree view but only a display of the current level of the data structure. You can traverse back up the structure with a back button.

Optionally, Wx::Perl::DataWalker displays the (approximate!) size of the data structure using Devel::Size.
