Apache::DB establishes the needed hooks to debug mod_perl code interactively.
In order to use it,
- add the following code to httpd.conf, after loading mod_perl.so
<IfDefine PERLDB>
<Perl>
use Apache::DB ();
Apache::DB->init;
</Perl>
<Location />
PerlFixupHandler Apache::DB
</Location>
</IfDefine>
- start apache for a debugging session using a line like:
httpd -X -DPERLDB -u
Then any perl request will be intercepted by the debugger.
Modules such as HTML::Mason have further hooks to get into the debugger
at interesting points.
This port also provides some sample configuration code that can
start up the debugger or the profiler in a similar way
