.SH NAME
Pod::Simple::Debug \-\- put Pod::Simple into trace/debug mode
.SH SYNOPSIS
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
.Vb 1
\& use Pod::Simple::Debug (5); # or some integer
.Ve
.PP
Or:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& my $debuglevel;
\& use Pod::Simple::Debug (\e$debuglevel, 0);
\& ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
\& you don\*(Aqt want debug output from...
\&
\& $debug_level = 4;
\& ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
\& you DO want debug output from...
\&
\& $debug_level = 0;
.Ve
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This is an internal module for controlling the debug level (a.k.a. trace
level) of Pod::Simple. This is of interest only to Pod::Simple
developers.
.SH CAVEATS
.IX Header "CAVEATS"
Note that you should load this module \fIbefore\fR loading Pod::Simple (or
any Pod::Simple\-based class). If you try loading Pod::Simple::Debug
after &Pod::Simple::DEBUG is already defined, Pod::Simple::Debug will
throw a fatal error to the effect that
"It's too late to call Pod::Simple::Debug".
.PP
Note that the \f(CW\*(C`use Pod::Simple::Debug (\e$x, \fR\f(CIsomenum\fR\f(CW)\*(C'\fR mode will make
Pod::Simple (et al) run rather slower, since &Pod::Simple::DEBUG won't
be a constant sub anymore, and so Pod::Simple (et al) won't compile with
constant-folding.
.SH GUTS
.IX Header "GUTS"
Doing this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Pod::Simple::Debug (5); # or some integer
.Ve
.PP
is basically equivalent to:
.PP
.Vb 2
\& BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () {5} } # or some integer
\& use Pod::Simple ();
.Ve
.PP
And this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\& use Pod::Simple::Debug (\e$debug_level,0); # or some integer
.Ve
.PP
is basically equivalent to this:
.PP
.Vb 4
\& my $debug_level;
\& BEGIN { $debug_level = 0 }
\& BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () { $debug_level }
\& use Pod::Simple ();
.Ve
