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.
