NAME

Carp::Reply - get a repl on exceptions in your program

VERSION

version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

perl -MCarp::Reply script.pl

or

use Carp::Reply ();

sub foo {
    # ...
    Carp::Reply::repl();
    # ...
}

DESCRIPTION

Carp::Reply provides a repl to use within an already running program, which can introspect the current state of the program, including the call stack and current lexical variables. It works just like Reply, with the addition of some commands to move around in the call stack.

The lexical environment is set to the lexical environment of the current stack frame (and is updated when you use any of the commands which move around the stack frames).

Carp::Reply also installs a __DIE__ handler which automatically launches a repl when an exception is thrown. You can suppress this behavior by passing an empty import list, either via use Carp::Reply (); or perl -mCarp::Reply.

FUNCTIONS
