In the debugger Devel::Trepan, there is the ability to show B:OP addresses. There is an optional plugin which allows one to disassemble Perl subroutines and packages. But what I'd like to do is to be able to disassemble a more limited region around the OP address. So how can I do that?

I know about Devel::Pointer, but I can't get that to work here:

(trepanpl): disasm Devel::Trepan::Options::whence_file
    ...    
    OP (0x9961848)
        op_next        0x9961828
        op_sibling    0
        op_ppaddr    PL_ppaddr[OP_PADSV]
        op_type        9
        op_flags    0000000
        op_private    0    
(trepanpl): sprintf "%d", 0x9961848
$DB::D[7] = 160831560
(trepanpl): $c = deref(160831560)
** Bizarre copy of UNKNOWN in scalar assignment
$DB::D[8] = <undef>

Program received signal SEGV.

Thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.

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.
