VIMDEBUG

VimDebug integrates your language's debugger with Vim. Currently there is support for Perl. Please note that this code is in beta.

Requirements

• Perl 5.6.0+
• A small number of Perl modules
• Vim with +signs compiled in.

Install instructions

tar xvzf VimDebug*.tar.gz
cd VimDebug*
perl Makefile.PL
make
sudo make install
cp -r vim/* $VIMHOME/

How to install Perl modules

Perl modules are easily installed using cpanm. If you don't have cpanm, this is the simplest way to get it:

curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

Then just type:

sudo cpanm IO::Pty IPC::Run POE Class::Accessor::Fast

For more help with installing Perl modules, see the cpanm documentation

VimDebug key bindings

These are the default key bindings. To change them, edit VimDebug.vim:

<F12>      Start the debugger
<Leader>s/ Start the debugger.  Prompts for command line arguments.
<F10>      Restart debugger. Break points are ALWAYS saved (for all dbgrs).
<F11>      Exit the debugger

<F6>       Next
<F7>       Step
<F8>       Continue

<Leader>b  Set break point on the current line
<Leader>c  Clear break point on the current line

<Leader>v  Print the value of the variable under the cursor
<Leader>v/ Print the value of an expression thats entered
