NAME
       B::Terse - Walk Perl syntax tree, printing terse info about ops

SYNOPSIS
               perl -MO=Terse[,OPTIONS] foo.pl

DESCRIPTION
       This version of B::Terse is really just a wrapper that calls B::Concise with the -terse
       option. It is provided for compatibility with old scripts (and habits) but using
       B::Concise directly is now recommended instead.

       For compatibility with the old B::Terse, this module also adds a method named "terse" to
       B::OP and B::SV objects. The B::SV method is largely compatible with the old one, though
       authors of new software might be advised to choose a more user-friendly output format. The
       B::OP "terse" method, however, doesn't work well. Since B::Terse was first written, much
       more information in OPs has migrated to the scratchpad datastructure, but the "terse"
       interface doesn't have any way of getting to the correct pad. As a kludge, the new version
       will always use the pad for the main program, but for OPs in subroutines this will give
       the wrong answer or crash.

AUTHOR
       The original version of B::Terse was written by Malcolm Beattie,
       <mbeattie AT sable.uk>. This wrapper was written by Stephen McCamant, <smcc AT MIT.EDU>.
