+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Perl debug information is frequently required not just by debuggers,
+but also by modules that need some "special" information to do their
+job properly, like profilers.
+
+This module abstracts and provides all of the hooks into Perl internal
+debugging functionality, so that various implementations of Perl debuggers
+(or packages that want to simply get at the "privileged" debugging data)
+can all benefit from the development of this common code. Currently used
+by Swat, the perl/Tk GUI debugger.
+
+Note that multiple "front-ends" can latch into this debugging API
+simultaneously. This is intended to facilitate things like
+debugging with a command line and GUI at the same time, debugging
+debuggers etc. [Sounds nice, but this needs some serious support -- GSAR]
+
+In particular, this API does B<not> provide the following functions:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+data display
+
+=item *
+
+command processing
+
+=item *
+
+command alias management
+
+=item *
+
+user interface (tty or graphical)
+
+=back
+
+These are intended to be services performed by the clients of this API.
+
+This module attempts to be squeaky clean w.r.t C<use strict;> and when
+warnings are enabled.
+
+
+=head2 Global Variables
+
+The following "public" global names can be read by clients of this API.
+Beware that these should be considered "readonly".
+
+=over 8
+
+=item $DB::sub
+
+Name of current executing subroutine.
+
+=item %DB::sub
+
+The keys of this hash are the names of all the known subroutines. Each value
+is an encoded string that has the sprintf(3) format
+C<("%s:%d-%d", filename, fromline, toline)>.
+
+=item $DB::single
+
+Single-step flag. Will be true if the API will stop at the next statement.
+
+=item $DB::signal
+
+Signal flag. Will be set to a true value if a signal was caught. Clients may
+check for this flag to abort time-consuming operations.
+
+=item $DB::trace
+
+This flag is set to true if the API is tracing through subroutine calls.
+
+=item @DB::args
+
+Contains the arguments of current subroutine, or the C<@ARGV> array if in the
+toplevel context.
+
+=item @DB::dbline
+
+List of lines in currently loaded file.
+
+=item %DB::dbline
+
+Actions in current file (keys are line numbers). The values are strings that
+have the sprintf(3) format C<("%s\000%s", breakcondition, actioncode)>.
+
+=item $DB::package
+
+Package namespace of currently executing code.
+
+=item $DB::filename
+
+Currently loaded filename.
+
+=item $DB::subname
+
+Fully qualified name of currently executing subroutine.
+
+=item $DB::lineno
+
+Line number that will be executed next.
+
+=back
+
+=head2 API Methods
+
+The following are methods in the DB base class. A client must
+access these methods by inheritance (*not* by calling them directly),
+since the API keeps track of clients through the inheritance
+mechanism.
+
+=over 8
+
+=item CLIENT->register()
+
+register a client object/package
+
+=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
+
+eval STRING in executing code context
+
+=item CLIENT->skippkg('D::hide')
+
+ask DB not to stop in these packages
+
+=item CLIENT->run()
+
+run some more (until a breakpt is reached)
+
+=item CLIENT->step()
+
+single step
+
+=item CLIENT->next()
+
+step over
+
+=item CLIENT->done()
+
+de-register from the debugging API
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Client Callback Methods
+
+The following "virtual" methods can be defined by the client. They will
+be called by the API at appropriate points. Note that unless specified
+otherwise, the debug API only defines empty, non-functional default versions
+of these methods.
+
+=over 8
+
+=item CLIENT->init()
+
+Called after debug API inits itself.
+
+=item CLIENT->prestop([STRING])
+
+Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
+returns the prestop action string.
+
+=item CLIENT->stop()
+
+Called when execution stops (w/ args file, line).
+
+=item CLIENT->idle()
+
+Called while stopped (can be a client event loop).
+
+=item CLIENT->poststop([STRING])
+
+Usually inherited from DB package. If no arguments are passed,
+returns the poststop action string.
+
+=item CLIENT->evalcode(STRING)
+
+Usually inherited from DB package. Ask for a STRING to be C<eval>-ed
+in executing code context.
+
+=item CLIENT->cleanup()
+
+Called just before exit.
+
+=item CLIENT->output(LIST)
+
+Called when API must show a message (warnings, errors etc.).
+
+
+=back
+
+
+=head1 BUGS
+
+The interface defined by this module is missing some of the later additions
+to perl's debugging functionality. As such, this interface should be considered
+highly experimental and subject to change.
