=head1 NAME

B::Showlex - Show lexical variables used in functions or files

=head1 SYNOPSIS

perl -MO=Showlex[,-OPTIONS][,SUBROUTINE] foo.pl

=head1 DESCRIPTION

When a comma-separated list of subroutine names is given as options, Showlex
prints the lexical variables used in those subroutines.  Otherwise, it prints
the file-scope lexicals in the file.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Traditional form:

$ perl -MO=Showlex -e 'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo")'
 Pad of lexical names for comppadlist has 4 entries
 0: (0x8caea4) undef
 1: (0x9db0fb0) $i
 2: (0x9db0f38) $j
 3: (0x9db0f50) $k
 Pad of lexical values for comppadlist has 5 entries
 0: SPECIAL #1 &PL_sv_undef
 1: NULL (0x9da4234)
 2: NULL (0x9db0f2c)
 3: NULL (0x9db0f44)
 4: NULL (0x9da4264)
 -e syntax OK

New-style form:

$ perl -MO=Showlex,-newlex -e 'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo")'
 main Pad has 4 entries
 0: (0x8caea4) undef
 1: (0xa0c4fb8) "$i" = NULL (0xa0b8234)
 2: (0xa0c4f40) "$j" = NULL (0xa0c4f34)
 3: (0xa0c4f58) "$k" = NULL (0xa0c4f4c)
 -e syntax OK

New form, no specials, outside O framework:

$ perl -MB::Showlex -e \
    'my ($i,$j,$k)=(1,"foo"); B::Showlex::compile(-newlex,-nosp)->()'
 main Pad has 4 entries
 1: (0x998ffb0) "$i" = IV (0x9983234) 1
 2: (0x998ff68) "$j" = PV (0x998ff5c) "foo"
 3: (0x998ff80) "$k" = NULL (0x998ff74)

Note that this example shows the values of the lexicals, whereas the other
examples did not (as they're compile-time only).

=head2 OPTIONS

The C<-newlex> option produces a more readable C<< name => value >> format,
and is shown in the second example above.

The C<-nosp> option eliminates reporting of SPECIALs, such as C<0: SPECIAL
#1 &PL_sv_undef> above.  Reporting of SPECIALs can sometimes overwhelm
your declared lexicals.

=head1 SEE ALSO

L<B::Showlex> can also be used outside of the O framework, as in the third
example.  See L<B::Concise> for a fuller explanation of reasons.

=head1 TODO

Some of the reported info, such as hex addresses, is not particularly
valuable.  Other information would be more useful for the typical
programmer, such as line-numbers, pad-slot reuses, etc..  Given this,
-newlex is not a particularly good flag-name.
