NAME

Devel::Command::HelloWorld - example debugger command extension

SYNOPSIS

# in .perldb:
use Devel::Command;
sub afterinit {
   Devel::Command->install;
}

#In the debugger:
DB<1> helloworld
Hello, world!
DB<2>

DESCRIPTION

Devel::Command::HelloWorld is an example command plugin for Devel::Command. It demonstrates the basic code needed to implement a command that will automatically be loaded and installed by Devel::Command.

IMPLEMENTATION

command

This example command follows the standard way of implmenting a Devel::Command command; it subclasses the base Devel::Command module, and implements a command subroutine. This is all that is necessary for Devel::Command to find and install the command.

This drastically simplifies the code needed to implement a command; as long as a sub command is defined, everything else is taken care of automatically.
