Perl compiler backend that generates a cross-reference listing of variables, subroutines, and formats in a Perl program. Results are grouped by file, then subroutine, then package, then objects within the package with line numbers. The line numbers are given as a comma-separated list. A line number may be preceded by one of the following code letters:
Code | Meaning |
---|---|
%
|
Subroutine or method call |
f
|
Format definition |
i
|
Introduction, e.g., a lexical defined with
my
|
s
|
Subroutine definition |
Invoke B::Xref like this:
perl -MO=Xref[, options ] program
program
is the Perl program whose cross-reference you want. Options are separated by commas and follow normal backend option conventions. The possible options are:
Specifies internal debug options. Most useful if specified with -r option. Debug options are:
O
Prints each operator as it's being processed, in the execution order of the program.
t
Prints the object on the top of the stack as it is being tracked.
Sends output to filename instead of STDOUT.
Produces raw output in machine-readable form for each definition or use of a variable, subroutine, or format.
