NAME

       Padre::Plugin::DataWalker - Simple Perl data structure browser Padre

VERSION

       version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

       Use this like any other Padre plugin. To install Padre::Plugin::DataWalker for your user
       only, you can type the following in the extracted Padre-Plugin-DataWalker-...  directory:

         perl Makefile.PL
         make
         make test
         make installplugin

       Afterwards, you can enable the plugin from within Padre via the menu Plugins->Plugin
       Manager and there click enable for DataWalker.

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin uses the Wx::Perl::DataWalker module to provide facilities for interactively
       browsing Perl data structures.

       At this time, the plugin offers several menu entries in Padre's Plugins menu:

       Browse YAML dump file
         If you dump (almost) any data structure from a running program into a YAML file, you can
         use this to open the dump and browse it within Padre. Dump a data structure like this:

           use YAML::XS; YAML::XS::Dump(...YourDataStructure...);

         This menu entry will show a file-open dialog and let you select the YAML file to load.

         Let me know if you need any other input format (like Storable's nstore).

       Browse current document object
         Opens the data structure browser on the current document object.

         Like all following menu entries, this is mostly useful for the Padre developers.

       Browse Padre IDE object
         Opens the Padre main IDE object in the data structure browser. Useful for debugging
         Padre.

       Browse Padre main symbol table
         Opens the %main:: symbol table of Padre in the data structure browser.  Certainly only
         useful for debugging Padre.
