B::Terse(3perl) Perl Programmers Reference Guide B::Terse(3perl)
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::Con-
cise directly is now recommended instead.
For compatiblilty 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.
