I would like some suggestions for a name for a new module I am writing.
When trying to create a debugger with a GUI, it took me a long time to
figure out how the debugger works. I decided to make it easer for the next
guy and write a module that will allow a debugger interface to respond to
events when certain debugger hooks are hit. I call it EDDI, the
Event-Driven Debugger Interface. At first I thought I would use
Devel::EDDI, but unlike other Devel::XXX modules, it's not a standalone
debugger - EDDI is merely an interface between a debugger and the internal
debugger hooks; the debugger author must provide a user interface if one is
desired. So I thought perhaps Debug::EDDI would be a good choice.
An EDDI object allows you to assign subs to certain debugger events
(stopping at a breakpoint, loading a file, compiling a sub, and others) and
also contains other helpful methods, such as assigning breakpoints or
retrieving a list of all known subs.
I realize that EDDI is an acronym, which is discouraged in the hints given
at http://www.cpan.org/modules/00modlist.long.html, but I couldn't think of
anything else short enough to be portable. Any thoughts?
It's not quite finished yet, but I thought I'd get the namespace issue out
of the way so when it is done I can upload it to CPAN without any delay.
For the same reason, I would also like to register a username on CPAN:
name: Sean Healy
email: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
preferred userid: JALOPEURA
