hash list in perl
How to list all defined variables in perl?
I have seen somewhere that the global variables are part of a hash. Possibly called main dictionary or something like that. Can’t find it now anymore. I need to list all defined variables or at least the global ones.
Thanks for the idea with debugger.
I want to do the same what debugger does automatically in my program to perform some check on size of all variables etc.
remember perl variables don’t exist until they’re referenced.
“main” is the default package.
Easest way to dump all variables is using the debugger. Let’s say you want to know the variables that exist at line 105.
perl -d script
c 105 # continue to line 105
V # cap V… dump all variables
