I have this homenode [perlmonks.org] of little consequence on Perl Monks [perlmonks.org] that you probably have no interest in whatsoever.
I also have some modules [cpan.org] on CPAN [cpan.org] some of which are marginally [cpan.org] more [cpan.org] useful [cpan.org] than others.

When we start the debugger for our 4gl programs, the source path environment variable is not always correctly set (actually its never correctly set, its just set to a best guess default), so I wrote something to scan the Makefile and set the source path to the right library directories before starting the debugger. My favorite bit from that script is this:
if (my $status = s/^\s*LIBFILES\s*=//
.. !s/\\$//) {
push @libs, split;
last if $status =~/E0/;
}
I had to add comments (to the effect of "From the start of the LIBFILES section to the first line which doesn't end in a backslash) and explain the flip-flop operator for the benefit of the (novice but only) other perl programmer in the office.
an endless discussion thread about what features to include.
