Thank you for the explanation. As I am in the perl/tk world, I will take your suggestion and continue to use ptkdb.

Hi,

As you may know, ptkdb uses perl/Tk.

I - personally - moved to perl+Tcl/tk out from perl/Tk (many years ago) and never return back.
For usage of debugger - I adopted ptkdb for perl+Tcl/Tk

Now - if you're using perl/Tk - then do use ptkdb,
if you're using perl+Tcl/Tk - then do use tkdb.

During adoption, I greatly reduced the size of debugger, greatly improved
(now it can debug autogenerated script of size 150k lines, for example))

Also I throwed away obsoleted technologies in ptkdb,

but then I left it unfinished, in the middle.
Maybe someday the work will be finished. maybe not.
Please let us know if you have actual interest in it.

Regards,
Vadim.

Subject: ptkdb vs tkdb
Gentlemen,
After a few years of being off in the wilderness of other languages I am returning to Perl.
When searching for a piece of information about ptkdb, I encountered tkdb, some of whose documentation appears to be lifted right out of the ptkdb page.
I also see that the tkdb page and AEP listed as an author.
So, what's the deal? Is tkdb the anointed successor to ptkdb? Or a sibling?

Thanks,
