How about Devel::Snapshot?

I read the linked blog, and I'm still not clear on why you need to distinguish the two. At least as a first cut, wouldn't it be adequate to just print out all of the effects of the use/require? As in, symbol table entries, variable assignments, etc.? You can figure out what package a particular subroutine was defined in via B::Deparse's coderef2text, so you can still group things by package and then output an alias statement (sub A::f {...}; *B::g = *A::f;) rather than a redefinition (sub A::F {...}; sub B::g { ... }) or a chained assignment: *A::f = *B::g = sub { ... }.

I have to admit that I haven't thought very hard about it, though.

I guess I can see the value in making the output code look as much as possible like the input code, although for things where this would be useful, I'm not sure if that's relevant. (If you're debugging something that autogenerates classes, then there's really no input that's useful to imitate.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
