NAME

       Wx::Perl::DataWalker - Perl extension for blah blah blah

SYNOPSIS

	 # alternatively, see the dataWalker.pl script in this distribution!
	 use Wx::Perl::DataWalker;

	 my $data_to_browse = {
	   # complex data structure.
	   # Good test: \%::
	 };

	 package MyWalkerDialog;
	 our @ISA = qw(Wx::App);

	 sub OnInit {
	     my $self = shift;

	     my $frame = Wx::Perl::DataWalker->new(
	       {data => $data_to_browse},
	       undef, -1,
	       "dataWalker",
	     );
	     $self->SetTopWindow($frame);
	     $frame->Show(1);
	     $frame->SetSize(500,500);

	     return 1;
	 }

	 package main;
	 my $app = MyWalkerDialog->new();
	 $app->MainLoop();

DESCRIPTION

       "Wx::Perl::DataWalker" implements a "Wx::Frame" subclass that shows a relatively simple Perl data structure browser.  After opening such a
       frame and supplying it with a reference to an essentially arbitrary data structure, you can visually browse it by double-clicking
       references.

       So far, there is no tree view but only a display of the current level of the data structure. You can traverse back up the structure with a
       back button.

       Optionally, "Wx::Perl::DataWalker" displays the (approximate!) size of the data structure using "Devel::Size".

NAME

       Padre::Plugin::DataWalker - Simple Perl data structure browser Padre

VERSION

       version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

       Use this like any other Padre plugin. To install Padre::Plugin::DataWalker for your user only, you can type the following in the extracted
       Padre-Plugin-DataWalker-...  directory:

	 perl Makefile.PL
	 make
	 make test
	 make installplugin

       Afterwards, you can enable the plugin from within Padre via the menu Plugins->Plugin Manager and there click enable for DataWalker.

DESCRIPTION

       This plugin uses the Wx::Perl::DataWalker module to provide facilities for interactively browsing Perl data structures.

       At this time, the plugin offers several menu entries in Padre's Plugins menu:

       Browse YAML dump file
	 If you dump (almost) any data structure from a running program into a YAML file, you can use this to open the dump and browse it within
	 Padre. Dump a data structure like this:

	   use YAML::XS; YAML::XS::Dump(...YourDataStructure...);

	 This menu entry will show a file-open dialog and let you select the YAML file to load.

	 Let me know if you need any other input format (like Storable's nstore).

       Browse current document object
	 Opens the data structure browser on the current document object.

	 Like all following menu entries, this is mostly useful for the Padre developers.

       Browse Padre IDE object
	 Opens the Padre main IDE object in the data structure browser. Useful for debugging Padre.

       Browse Padre main symbol table
	 Opens the %main:: symbol table of Padre in the data structure browser.  Certainly only useful for debugging Padre.
