Hi all,
I started to use Apache::DB (0.06) to interactively debug under mod_perl using ptkdb.
I see that is necessary to modify Apache/DB.pm but, after this, the debugger will be
run always under ptkdb. The little patch I propose to Apache/DB.pm is to improve
Apache to dinamically switch from command line to GUI (ptkdb) interface by configuring
this in httpd.conf.
To enable ptkdb I add the directive:
PerlSetVar PerlTkDB On
in preferred place of my httpd.conf. For example:
<Location /someplace>
<IfDefine PERLDB>
PerlSetVar PerlTkDB On
PerlFixupHandler Apache::DB
</IfDefine>
SetHandler perl-script
PerlHandler Apache::MyModule
</Location>
then start Apache with:
% httpd -D PERLDB
If Devel::ptkdb isn't installed, then default debug libraries (perl5db.pl) are loaded.

Any comment will be appreciated.
