[Ptkdb-user] Syntax highlighting and here document display

[Struan B. <struan.bartlett@NewsNow.co.uk>]

Hi,

Please forgive me posting before trolling... I just discovered ptkdb
last week and I am tremendously impressed and excited by it! Call me old
hat, but I and my team have been labouring away with perl -d for years
without realising an open source, quick-and-easy to run, graphical
debugger even existed!! Thanks to everyone involved in making ptkdb :-)

Now apologies for my impetuousness, but I couldn't help try hacking
together some syntax highlighting and here-document display just to get
to grips with how ptkdb has been written and whether the code could be
extended. Is this something anyone else is interested in?

In case so, I've attached some proof-of-concept code. N.B. The code is
hurriedly put together, it isn't debugged or optimised for speed, it
still has commented-out debug statements in it and it makes ptkdb
dependent on Syntax::Highlight::Perl, which may be undesirable.

That said, if anyone else would find this useful, I will be happy to try
to tidy the patch up and ensure it still runs even if
Syntax::Highlight::Perl isn't present on the machine in question.

Kind regards,

Struan Bartlett
