=head1 NAME

ptksh - Perl/Tk script to provide a graphical user interface for testing Perl/Tk
commands and scripts.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  % ptksh  ?scriptfile?
  ... version information ...
  ptksh> $b=$mw->Button(-text=>'Hi',-command=>sub{print 'Hi'})
  ptksh> $b->pack
  ptksh> o $b
  ... list of options ...
  ptksh> help
  ... help information ...
  ptksh> exit
  %


=head1 DESCRIPTION

ptksh is a perl/Tk shell to enter perl commands
interactively.  When one starts ptksh a L<MainWindow|Tk::MainWindow>
is automatically created, along with a ptksh command window.
One can access the main window by typing commands using the
variable $mw at the 'ptksh> ' prompt of the command window.

ptksh supports command line editing and history.  Just type "<Up>" at
the command prompt to see a history list.  The last 50 commands entered
are saved, then reloaded into history list the next time you start ptksh.

ptksh supports some convenient commands for inspecting Tk widgets.  See below.

To exit ptksh use: C<exit>.

ptksh is B<*not*> a full symbolic debugger.
To debug perl/Tk programs at a low level use the more powerful
L<perl debugger|perldebug>.  (Just enter ``O tk'' on debuggers
command line to start the Tk eventloop.)

=head1 FEATURES

=head2 History

Press <Up> (the Up Arrow) in the perlwish window to obtain a gui-based history list.
Press <Enter> on any history line to enter it into the perlwish window.
Then hit return.  So, for example, repeat last command is <Up><Enter><Enter>.
You can quit the history window with <Escape>.  NOTE: history is only saved
if exit is "graceful" (i.e. by the "exit" command from the console or by
quitting all main windows--NOT by interrupt).

=head2 Debugging Support

ptksh provides some convenience function to make browsing
in perl/Tk widget easier:

=over 4

=item B<?>, or B<h>

displays a short help summary.

=item B<d>, or B<x> ?I<args>, ...?

Dumps recursively arguments to stdout. (see L<Data::Dumper>).
You must have <Data::Dumper> installed to support this feature.

B<x> was introduced for perl debugger compatibility.

=item B<p> ?I<arg>, ...?

appends "|\n" to each of it's arguments and prints it.
If value is B<undef>, '(undef)' is printed to stdout.

=item B<o> I<$widget> ?I<-option> ...?

prints the option(s) of I<$widget> one on each line.
If no options are given all options of the widget are
listed.  See L<Tk::options> for more details on the
format and contents of the returned list.

=item B<o> I<$widget> B</>I<regexp>B</>

Lists options of I<$widget> matching the
L<regular expression|perlre> I<regexp>.

=item B<u> ?I<class>?

If no argument is given it lists the modules loaded
by the commands you executed or since the last time you
called C<u>.

If argument is the empty string lists all modules that are
loaded by ptksh.

If argument is a string, ``text'' it tries to do a ``use Tk::Text;''.

=back

=head2 Packages

Ptksh compiles into package Tk::ptksh.  Your code is eval'ed into package
main.  The coolness of this is that your eval code should not interfere with
ptksh itself.

=head2 Multiline Commands

ptksh will accept multiline commands.  Simply put a "\" character immediately
before the newline, and ptksh will continue your command onto the next line.

=head2 Source File Support

If you have a perl/Tk script that you want to do debugging on, try running the
command

  ptksh> do 'myscript';

   -- or  (at shell command prompt) --

  % ptksh myscript

Then use the perl/Tk commands to try out different operations on your script.

=head1 ENVIRONMENT

Looks for your .ptksh_history in the directory specified by
the $HOME environment variable ($HOMEPATH on Win32 systems).

=head1 FILES

=over 4

=item F<.ptksh_init>

If found in current directory it is read in an evaluated
after the mainwindow I<$mw> is created. F<.ptksh_init>
can contain any valid perl code.

=item F<~/.ptksh_history>

Contains the last 50 lines entered in ptksh session(s).

=back

=head1 PITFALLS

It is best not to use "my" in the commands you type into ptksh.
For example "my $v" will make $v local just to the command or commands
entered until <Return> is pressed.
For a related reason, there are no file-scopy "my" variables in the
ptksh code itself (else the user might trounce on them by accident).

=head1 BUGS

B<Tk::MainLoop> function interactively entered or sourced in a
init or script file will block ptksh.
