perldb mode and stack traces

perldb mode and stack traces

[Alex Kuznetsov]

hi,

I would like to be able to see a stack trace via the perldb emacs
front end. Is this possible?

Right now, when I press 'T', the output of the stack trace goes
nowhere, as far as I can see..

Is this somehow related to the speed bar (as it stand, it says 'no
stack frames'? And, are there different perldb frontends that I can
choose from? Is there an integrated tutorial for perldb somewhere I
could look at?

Thanks,

Alex

Not with perldb in CVS Emacs.

Yes, if by "goes nowhere" you mean "is printed in the GUD buffer"

No.  That's just used by GUD for M-x gdb (in text command mode, as with Emacs
21).

There's:

http://search.cpan.org/src/YEWENBIN/Emacs-PDE-0.2.16/lisp/perldb-ui.el

which tries to work with perldb like gdb-ui.el does with gdb in Emacs 22.
