I've been working on adding DTrace probes to Perl (Score:1)

by SvenDowideit (8348)

see http://distributedinformation.com/ [distribute...mation.com]

I've been working my way through the perl 5.8.8 source - talk about an education. Right now, I'm adding probes to a few of the run ops - adding parameter outputs as I work out what to do. My focus is a little different - I want a way to instrument in production cgi code - though I notice there would be a use for this to determine that really should be in hot_ops.

I've been working on 5.8.8 in a publicly accessible svn repository - in case anyone wants to try it.

  That sounds like fun Sven :) Did you see that you can plug in a new runops loop without rebuilding Perl?

    Of course :) I read your blog post. I'm after more than just adding runop probes though - I added new&del and probes for the seperate stages of the perl execution. Hope to find time to try Devel::DTrace out soon though.
