NAME

Apache::Peek - A data debugging tool for the XS programmer (under mod_perl)

SYNOPSIS

        use Apache::Peek;
        Dump( $a );
        Dump( $a, 5 );
        DumpArray( 5, $a, $b, ... );

        # more functionality inherited from Devel::Peek

DESCRIPTION

Apache::Peek is a sub-class of Devel::Peek. The only difference is that it overrides the stderr stream, to which Devel::Peek sends its output, and send the output to the client instead.

Note: The following table summarizes what parts of the Devel::Peek's API are available, depending on the used Perl version and configurations:

  5.005_0x                 all
  5.6.x                    only Dump()
  5.8.x (w/  -Duseperlio)  all
  5.8.x (w/o -Duseperlio)  none

Patches to complete the functionality under all configurations are welcome.

Apache::Peek works both with mod_perl 1.0 and 2.0.

See the Devel::Peek manpage for a complete documentation.
