NAME
    Vim::Debug::Manual - Integrate the Perl debugger with Vim

What is VimDebug?
    VimDebug integrates the Perl debugger with Vim, allowing developers to
    visually step through their code, examine variables, set or clear
    breakpoints, etc.

    VimDebug is known to work under Unix/Ubuntu/OSX. It requires Perl
    5.FIXME or later and some CPAN modules may need to be installed. It also
    requires a Vim 7.FIXME or later that was built with the +signs and +perl
    extensions.

How do I install VimDebug?
    The VimDebug code has a Perl component and a Vim component.

    First, install the Perl component, Vim::Debug, from CPAN, like you would
    any other Perl module, Then, install the Vim component (which the
    installed Perl component knows about) by running:

        vimdebug-install -d ~/.vim

    You may want to replace "~/.vim" by some other directory that your Vim
    recognizes as a runtimepath directory. See Vim's ":help 'runtimepath'"
    for more information.

Using VimDebug
    Launch Vim and open a file named with a ".pl" extension. Press <F12> to
    start the debugger. To change the default Vim key bindings, shown here,
    edit VimDebug.vim:

        <F12>      Start the debugger
        <Leader>s/ Start the debugger.  Prompts for command line arguments.
        <F10>      Restart debugger. Break points are ALWAYS saved (for all dbgrs).
        <F11>      Exit the debugger

        <F6>       Next
        <F7>       Step
        <F8>       Continue

        <Leader>b  Set break point on the current line
        <Leader>c  Clear break point on the current line

        <Leader>v  Print the value of the variable under the cursor
        <Leader>v/ Print the value of an expression thats entered

        <Leader>/  Type a command for the debugger to execute and echo the result

Improving VimDebug
    VimDebug is on github: https://github.com/kablamo/VimDebug.git

    To do development work on VimDebug, clone its git repo and read
    ./documentation/DEVELOPER.HOWOTO.

    In principle, the VimDebug code can be extended to handle other
    debuggers, like the one for Ruby or Python, but that remains to be done.

    Please note that this code is in beta.
