use Sys::Ptrace qw(ptrace PTRACE_TRACEME); ptrace( PTRACE_TRACEME, $pid, $addr, $data );
use Sys::Ptrace qw(ptrace PTRACE_SYSCALL PTRACE_CONT PTRACE_TRACEME); ptrace(PTRACE_SYSCALL, $pid, undef, undef); ptrace(PTRACE_CONT, $pid, undef, undef); ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, $$, 0, 0);
Perl interface to the ptrace(2) command. This module is meant to be used mostly for debugging purposes and for black box testing where the source code is generally not available or unknown. This may also prove useful when the program or script in question has already been compiled to a binary or it is third party code.
ptrace( $request, $pid, $addr, $data)
Returns true on success and sets $! on failure.
