+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+The Devel::StackTrace module contains two classes, Devel::StackTrace
+and Devel::StackTraceFrame. The goal of this object is to encapsulate
+the information that can found through using the \fIcaller()\fR function, as
+well as providing a simple interface to this data.
+.PP
+The Devel::StackTrace object contains a set of Devel::StackTraceFrame
+objects, one for each level of the stack. The frames contain all the
+data available from \f(CW\*(C`caller()\*(C'\fR.
+.PP
+This code was created to support my Exception::Class::Base class
+(part of Exception::Class) but may be useful in other contexts.
+.SH "'TOP' AND 'BOTTOM' OF THE STACK"
+.IX Header "'TOP' AND 'BOTTOM' OF THE STACK"
+When describing the methods of the trace object, I use the words 'top'
+and 'bottom'. In this context, the 'top' frame on the stack is the
+most recent frame and the 'bottom' is the least recent.
+.PP
+Here's an example:
+.PP
+.Vb 1
+\& foo(); # bottom frame is here
+\&
+\& sub foo
+\& {
+\& bar();
+\& }
+\&
+\& sub bar
+\& {
+\& Devel::StackTrace\->new; # top frame is here.
+\& }

+.SH "Devel::StackTrace METHODS"
+.IX Header "Devel::StackTrace METHODS"
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+Devel::StackTrace\->new(%named_params)
+.Sp
+Returns a new Devel::StackTrace object.
+.Sp
+Takes the following parameters:
+.RS 4
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+frame_filter => \f(CW$sub\fR
+.Sp
+By default, Devel::StackTrace will include all stack frames before the
+call to its its constructor.
+.Sp
+However, you may want to filter out some frames with more granularity
+than 'ignore_package' or 'ignore_class' allow.
+.Sp
+You can provide a subroutine which is called with the raw frame data
+for each frame. This is a hash reference with two keys, \*(L"caller\*(R", and
+\&\*(L"args\*(R", both of which are array references. The \*(L"caller\*(R" key is the
+raw data as returned by Perl's \f(CW\*(C`caller()\*(C'\fR function, and the \*(L"args\*(R"
+key are the subroutine arguments found in \f(CW@DB::args\fR.
+.Sp
+The filter should return true if the frame should be included, or
+false if it should be skipped.
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+ignore_package => \f(CW$package_name\fR \s-1OR\s0 \e@package_names
+.Sp
+Any frames where the package is one of these packages will not be on
+the stack.
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+ignore_class => \f(CW$package_name\fR \s-1OR\s0 \e@package_names
+.Sp
+Any frames where the package is a subclass of one of these packages
+(or is the same package) will not be on the stack.
+.Sp
+Devel::StackTrace internally adds itself to the 'ignore_package'
+parameter, meaning that the Devel::StackTrace package is \fB\s-1ALWAYS\s0\fR
+ignored. However, if you create a subclass of Devel::StackTrace it
+will not be ignored.
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+no_refs => \f(CW$boolean\fR
+.Sp
+If this parameter is true, then Devel::StackTrace will not store
+references internally when generating stacktrace frames. This lets
+your objects go out of scope.
+.Sp
+Devel::StackTrace replaces any references with their stringified
+representation.
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+respect_overload => \f(CW$boolean\fR
+.Sp
+By default, Devel::StackTrace will call \f(CW\*(C`overload::AddrRef()\*(C'\fR to get
+the underlying string representation of an object, instead of
+respecting the object's stringification overloading. If you would
+prefer to see the overloaded representation of objects in stack
+traces, then set this parameter to true.
+.IP "\(bu" 8
+max_arg_length => \f(CW$integer\fR
+.Sp
+By default, Devel::StackTrace will display the entire argument for
+each subroutine call. Setting this parameter causes it to truncate the
+argument's string representation if it is longer than this number of
+characters.
+.RE
+.RS 4
+.RE
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->next_frame
+.Sp
+Returns the next Devel::StackTraceFrame object down on the stack. If
+it hasn't been called before it returns the first frame. It returns
+undef when it reaches the bottom of the stack and then resets its
+pointer so the next call to \f(CW\*(C`next_frame\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`prev_frame\*(C'\fR will work
+properly.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->prev_frame
+.Sp
+Returns the next Devel::StackTraceFrame object up on the stack. If it
+hasn't been called before it returns the last frame. It returns undef
+when it reaches the top of the stack and then resets its pointer so
+pointer so the next call to \f(CW\*(C`next_frame\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`prev_frame\*(C'\fR will work
+properly.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->reset_pointer
+.Sp
+Resets the pointer so that the next call \f(CW\*(C`next_frame\*(C'\fR or
+\&\f(CW\*(C`prev_frame\*(C'\fR will start at the top or bottom of the stack, as
+appropriate.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->frames
+.Sp
+Returns a list of Devel::StackTraceFrame objects. The order they are
+returned is from top (most recent) to bottom.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->frame ($index)
+.Sp
+Given an index, returns the relevant frame or undef if there is not
+frame at that index. The index is exactly like a Perl array. The
+first frame is 0 and negative indexes are allowed.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->frame_count
+.Sp
+Returns the number of frames in the trace object.
+.IP "\(bu" 4
+\&\f(CW$trace\fR\->as_string
+.Sp
+Calls as_string on each frame from top to bottom, producing output
+quite similar to the Carp module's cluck/confess methods.
