NAME
    Vim::Debug::Manual - Integrate the Perl debugger with Vim

What is VimDebug?
    VimDebug integrates the Perl debugger with Vim, allowing developers to
    visually step through their code, examine variables, set or clear
    breakpoints, etc.

    VimDebug is known to work under Unix/Ubuntu/OSX. It requires Perl
    5.FIXME or later and some CPAN modules may need to be installed. It also
    requires Vim 7.FIXME or later that was built with the +signs and +perl
    extensions.

How do I install VimDebug?
    VimDebug has a Perl component and a Vim component. The Vim component
    happens to be supplied with the Perl component.

    The Perl component, Vim::Debug, can be obtained from CPAN. A simple way
    to install it is to use cpanminus's
    <https://metacpan.org/module/App::cpanminus> "cpanm" program. First,
    install "cpanminus":

        curl -L http://cpanmin.us | perl - --sudo App::cpanminus

    Then, install VimDebug's Perl files:

        cpanm Vim::Debug

    To install the Vim component, execute the following program, which was
    installed with the Perl component:

        vimdebug-install -d ~/.vim

    You may want to replace "~/.vim" by some other directory that your Vim
    recognizes as a runtimepath directory. See Vim's ":help 'runtimepath'"
    for more information.

    Finally, launch Vim and install and read the Vim help file, which
    describes how to use VimDebug:

        :helptags ~/.vim/doc
        :help VimDebug

    Make sure that the directory where that "doc" directory resides is in
    your Vim runtimepath, else Vim won't find its help information even if
    it manages to build the help index.

Improving VimDebug
    VimDebug is on github: https://github.com/kablamo/VimDebug.git

    To do development work on VimDebug, clone its git repo and read
    ./documentation/DEVELOPER.

    In principle, the VimDebug code can be extended to handle other
    debuggers, like the one for Ruby or Python, but that remains to be done.

    Please note that this code is in beta.
