Hi Matthew, the most recent version of tkdb is on CPAN, which is Devel-tkdb.
Look at Changes file on what changes were done to the "ptkdb" debugger, http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/VKON/Devel-tkdb-2.2/Changes e.g. the lines event loop (main_loop) is much better: it does not cycle eating CPU, instead waits (most important change IMO, is it will not eat the battery of your notebook while you're debugging :) ) Actually I can say that - during development - I ran the "tkdb" debugger in a specially constructed huge program of 150k lines (!) and it was really fast and responsive! perl -we "print qq/\$a++;\nprint \$a;\n/ x 75000" | perl -d:tkdb is quite fast. "tkdb" actually lacks about 2-3 days of development time to have it feature-finished and really cool :) Maybe eventually I finish it. Surely I'll restart tkdb after all other important things are finished :) PS. Je ne connais pas votre ami, this is not surprising, because I am living near the edge of the World, while your collage friend presumably is closer to the centre :) Regards, Vadim. ________________________________ From: Matthew Persico [mailto:matthew.pers...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, March 15, 2013 3:23 PM To: Konovalov, Vadim (Vadim)** CTR ** Subject: Fwd: ptkdb vs tkdb Vadim, Where can I get the latest version of tkdb? I am in the process of making some changes to ptkdb and I'd like to see if any of your upgraded functionality can be used in ptkdb. I have already made some changes to ptkdb that I can share with you if you like. Thanks PS - I see you work at alcatel-lucent. Do you know a Joseph Knobloch? I believe he works there. We went to college together.

I - personally - moved to perl+Tcl/tk out from perl/Tk (many years ago) and never return back. For usage of debugger - I adopted ptkdb for perl+Tcl/Tk Now - if you're using perl/Tk - then do use ptkdb, if you're using perl+Tcl/Tk - then do use tkdb. During adoption, I greatly reduced the size of debugger, greatly improved (now it can debug autogenerated script of size 150k lines, for example)) Also I throwed away obsoleted technologies in ptkdb, but then I left it unfinished, in the middle. Maybe someday the work will be finished. maybe not. Please let us know if you have actual interest in it. Regards, Vadim. ________________________________ From: Persico, Matthew [mailto:mpers...@knight.com<mailto:mpers...@knight.com>] Sent: Wednesday, January 16, 2013 7:06 PM To: 'aep...@users.sourceforge.net<mailto:aep...@users.sourceforge.net>'; 'nob...@home.net<mailto:nob...@home.net>'; 'v...@cpan.org<mailto:v...@cpan.org>' Subject: ptkdb vs tkdb Gentlemen, After a few years of being off in the wilderness of other languages I am returning to Perl. When searching for a piece of information about ptkdb, I encountered tkdb, some of whose documentation appears to be lifted right out of the ptkdb page. I also see that the tkdb page and AEP listed as an author. So, what’s the deal? Is tkdb the anointed successor to ptkdb? Or a sibling?
