NAME
    CGI::Application::Plugin::ViewCode - View the source of the running
    application

SYNOPSIS
    In your CGI::Application based class

        use CGI::Application::Plugin::ViewCode;

    Then you can view your module's source (or pod) as it's running by
    changing the url

        ?rm=view_code
        ?rm=view_code&line_no=1
        ?rm=view_code&pod=0&line_no=0
        ?rm=view_code&module=CGI-Application

        ?rm=view_pod
        ?rm=view_pod&module=CGI-Application

INTERFACE
    This plugin works by adding extra run modes (named `view_code' and `
    view_pod ') to the application. By calling this run mode you can see the
    source or POD of the running module (by default) or you can specify
    which module you would like to view (see SECURITY).

  view_code

    This extra run mode will accept the following arguments in the query
    string:

    module
        The name of the module to view. By default it is the module
        currently being run. Also, since colons (':') aren't simply typed
        into URL's, you can just substitute '-' for '::'.

            ?rm=view_code?module=My-Base-Class

    highlight
        Boolean indicates whether syntax highlighting (using
        Syntax::Highlight::Perl::Improved) is `on' or `off'. By default it
        is `on'.

    line_no
        Boolean indicates whether the viewing of line numbers is `on' or
        `off'. By default it is `on'.

    pod Boolean indicates whether POD is seen or not. By default it is
        seen>.

  view_pod

    This extra run mode will accept the following arguments in the query
    string:

    module
        The name of the module to view. By default it is the module
        currently being run. Also, since colons (':') aren't simply typed
        into URL's, you can just substitute '-' for '::'.

            ?rm=view_pod?module=My-Base-Class

AS A POPUP WINDOW
    This plugin can be used in conjunction with
    CGI::Application::Plugin::DevPopup. If we detect that
    CGI::Application::Plugin::DevPopup is running and turned on, we will
    create a sub-report that includes the highlighted source code.

    So you can simply do the following:

        BEGIN { $ENV{CAP_DEVPOPUP_EXEC} = 1; } # turn it on for real
        use CGI::Application::Plugin::DevPopup;
        use CGI::Application::Plugin::ViewCode;

    Befault, this report will be the same thing produced by `view_code'. If
    you want this report to include the `view_pod' report, simply set the
    the `$ENV{CAP_VIEWCODE_POPUP_POD}' to true. You can also turn off the
    `view_code' report but setting `$ENV{CAP_VIEWCODE_POPUP_CODE}' to false.

        # have the POD report, but not the code in the dev popup window
        BEGIN { 
            $ENV{CAP_DEVPOPUP_EXEC} = 1;       # turn it on for real
            $ENV{CAP_VIEWCODE_POPUP_POD} = 1;  # turn on POD report
            $ENV{CAP_VIEWCODE_POPUP_CODE} = 0; # turn off code report
        }
        use CGI::Application::Plugin::DevPopup;
        use CGI::Application::Plugin::ViewCode;

SECURITY
    This plugin is designed to be used for development only. Please do not
    use it in a production system as it will allow anyone to see the source
    code for any loaded module. Consider yourself warned.
