PPI::Tester - A wxPerl-based interactive PPI debugger/tester
DESCRIPTION
This package implements a wxWindows desktop application which provides
the ability to interactively test the PPI perl parser.
The "PPI::Tester" module implements the application, but is itself of
no use to the user. The launcher for the application 'ppitester' is
installed with this module, and can be launched by simply typing the
following from the command line.
ppitester
When launched, the application consists of two vertical panels. The
left panel is where you should type in your code sample. As the left
hand panel is changed, a PPI::Lexer::Dump output is continuously
updated in the right hand panel.
There is a toolbar at the top of the application with two icon buttons,
currently without icons. The first toolbar button clears the panels,
the second is a placeholder for loading in code from a file, and is not
yet implemented. ( It's early days yet for this application ).
TO DO
- The "Load file" toolbar button does not work yet
- There are no icons on the toolbar buttons
- An option is needed to save both the left and right panels into
a matching pair of files, compatible with the lexer testing script.
