6 PPI::Tester - A wxPerl-based interactive PPI debugger/tester
7
9 This package implements a wxWindows desktop application which provides
10 the ability to interactively test the PPI perl parser.
11
12 The "PPI::Tester" module implements the application, but is itself of
13 no use to the user. The launcher for the application 'ppitester' is
14 installed with this module, and can be launched by simply typing the
15 following from the command line.

19 When launched, the application consists of two vertical panels. The
20 left panel is where you should type in your code sample. As the left
21 hand panel is changed, a PPI::Lexer::Dump output is continuously
22 updated in the right hand panel.
23
24 There is a toolbar at the top of the application with two icon buttons,
25 currently without icons. The first toolbar button clears the panels,
26 the second is a placeholder for loading in code from a file, and is not
27 yet implemented. ( It's early days yet for this application ).
28
30 - The "Load file" toolbar button does not work yet
31
32 - There are no icons on the toolbar buttons
33
34 - An option is needed to save both the left and right panels into
35 a matching pair of files, compatible with the lexer testing script.
