An interactive shell command for Devel::Trepan.

Motivation: Devel::Trepan is getting quite large and adding a shell via Devel::REPL pulls in lots of other packages. Thus we have this separated this portion.

SYNOPSIS

This adds a "shell" command with alias "re.pl" to the Devel::Trepan debugger, trepan.pl. The command goes into a Devel::REPL shell from inside the debugger.

But wait, there's more!

This package also contains some Devel::REPL plugins for entering both the Devel::Trepan debugger and the tried-and-true perl5db debugger, from a re.pl shell:

To call the debuggers inside re.pl, first run or put in your ~/.re.pl/rc.pl file:

$_REPL->load_plugin('Trepan');         # to go into the trepan debugger
$_REPL->load_plugin('Perl5db');        # to go into the perl5db debugger

And then in your re.pl session:

%trepan Perl-expression-or-statement    # enter Devel::Trepan debugger
%perl5db Perl-expression-or-statement   # enter Perl5db
