NAME
       PDL::Dbg - functions to support debugging of PDL scripts

SYNOPSIS
	      use PDL;
	      use PDL::Dbg;

	      $c = $a->slice("5:10,2:30")->px->diagonal(3,4);
	      PDL->px;

DESCRIPTION
       This packages implements a couple of functions that should come in
       handy when debugging your PDL scripts. They make a lot of sense while
       you're doing rapid prototyping of new PDL code, let's say inside the
       perldl shell.

FUNCTIONS
       px

       Print info about a piddle (or all known piddles)

	   perldl> PDL->px
	   perldl> $b += $a->clump(2)->px('clumptest')->sumover
	   perldl> $a->px('%C (%A) Type: %T')

       This function prints some information about piddles. It can be invoked
       as a class method (e.g. "PDL->px" ) or as an instance method (e.g.
       "$pdl->px($arg)"). If

       invoked as a class method
	 it prints info about all piddles found in the current package
	 (excluding "my" variables). This comes in quite handy when you are
	 not quite sure which pdls you have already defined, what data they
	 hold , etc. "px" is supposed to support inheritance and prints info
	 about all symbols for which an "isa($class)" is true. An optional
	 string argument is interpreted as the package name for which to print
	 symbols:

	   perldl> PDL->px('PDL::Mypack')

	 The default package is that of the caller.

       invoked as an instance method
	 it prints info about that particular piddle if $PDL::debug is true
	 and returns the pdl object upon completion. It accepts an optional
	 string argument that is simply prepended to the default info if it
	 doesn't contain a "%" character. If, however, the argument contains a
	 "%" then the string is passed to the "info" method to control the
	 format of the printed information. This can be used to achieve
	 customized output from "px". See the documentation of "PDL::info" for
	 further details.

       The output of px will be determined by the default formatting string
       that is passed to the "info" method (unless you pass a string
       containing "%" to px when invoking as an instance method, see above).
       This default string is stored in $PDL::Dbg::Infostr and the default
       output format can be accordingly changed by setting this variable.  If
       you do this you should also change the default title string that the
       class method branch prints at the top of the listing to match your new
       format string. The default title is stored in the variable
       $PDL::Dbg::Title.

       For historical reasons "vars" is an alias for "px".

       vars

       Alias for "px"

BUGS
       There are probably some. Please report if you find any. Bug reports
       should be sent to the PDL mailing list perldl@jachw.hawaii.edu.
