=head1 SYNOPSIS
- perl -MO=Showlex[,SUBROUTINE] foo.pl
+ perl -MO=Showlex[,-OPTIONS][,SUBROUTINE] foo.pl
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-When a subroutine name is provided in OPTIONS, prints the lexical
-variables used in that subroutine. Otherwise, prints the file-scope
-lexicals in the file.
+When a comma-separated list of subroutine names is given as options, Showlex
+prints the lexical variables used in those subroutines. Otherwise, it prints
+the file-scope lexicals in the file.
+
+=head1 EXAMPLES
+
+Traditional form:
+
+ $ perl -MO=Showlex -e 'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo")'
+ Pad of lexical names for comppadlist has 4 entries
+ 0: SPECIAL #1 &PL_sv_undef
+ 1: PVNV (0x9db0fb0) $i
+ 2: PVNV (0x9db0f38) $j
+ 3: PVNV (0x9db0f50) $k
+ Pad of lexical values for comppadlist has 5 entries
+ 0: SPECIAL #1 &PL_sv_undef
+ 1: NULL (0x9da4234)
+ 2: NULL (0x9db0f2c)
+ 3: NULL (0x9db0f44)
+ 4: NULL (0x9da4264)
+ -e syntax OK
+
+New-style form:
+
+ $ perl -MO=Showlex,-newlex -e 'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo")'
+ main Pad has 4 entries
+ 0: SPECIAL #1 &PL_sv_undef
+ 1: PVNV (0xa0c4fb8) "$i" = NULL (0xa0b8234)
+ 2: PVNV (0xa0c4f40) "$j" = NULL (0xa0c4f34)
+ 3: PVNV (0xa0c4f58) "$k" = NULL (0xa0c4f4c)
+ -e syntax OK
+
+New form, no specials, outside O framework:
+
+ $ perl -MB::Showlex -e \
+ 'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo"); B::Showlex::compile(-newlex,-nosp)->()'
+ main Pad has 4 entries
+ 1: PVNV (0x998ffb0) "$i" = IV (0x9983234) 1
+ 2: PVNV (0x998ff68) "$j" = PV (0x998ff5c) "foo"
+ 3: PVNV (0x998ff80) "$k" = NULL (0x998ff74)
+
+Note that this example shows the values of the lexicals, whereas the other
+examples did not (as they're compile-time only).
+
+=head2 OPTIONS
+
+The C<-newlex> option produces a more readable C<< name => value >> format,
+and is shown in the second example above.
+
+The C<-nosp> option eliminates reporting of SPECIALs, such as C<0: SPECIAL
+#1 &PL_sv_undef> above. Reporting of SPECIALs can sometimes overwhelm
+your declared lexicals.
+
+=head1 SEE ALSO
+
+C<B::Showlex> can also be used outside of the O framework, as in the third
+example. See C<B::Concise> for a fuller explanation of reasons.
+
+=head1 TODO
+
+Some of the reported info, such as hex addresses, is not particularly
+valuable. Other information would be more useful for the typical
+programmer, such as line-numbers, pad-slot reuses, etc.. Given this,
+-newlex isnt a particularly good flag-name.
