Affrus is an integrated Perl editing and debugging environment for Mac OS X that wraps Perl in a standard, familiar, and intuitive user interface. It's the perfect center for all your Perl development needs on Mac OS X. Whether you're just beginning to experiment with Perl and want an easy way to get your feet wet, or you're a Perl expert wishing to understand and hack into a vast body of existing code, Affrus is for you.
Main Features:
- Editing
The Affrus editor is tailored to the Perl language. It provides syntax coloring, identifier indexing, and a host of other editing tools to make Perl development faster. Affrus integrates with Bare Bones Software's BBEdit and TextWranger for those who prefer to edit in these tools.
- Debugging
Affrus presents a full-featured graphical debugger tuned to the needs of Perl programmers. The debugger features step-wise execution, breakpoints, tracing, and expression evaluation as well as stack frame tracing with full access to locally scoped (my) variables. The debugger also displays all Perl registers and variables from any Package.
- Command Line Integration
Affrus provides a command line tool that allows all of Affrus's debugging capabilities to be invoked from Mac OS X's command line. For instance, you can pipe stdin to the command line tool to debug with live data.
Requirements:
- Any Power Macintosh -- G4 or G5 Processor recommended
- 15MB hard disk space
