The following are examples of pl_subcalls.d. This is a simple script to count executed Perl subroutines. Here it traces an example program, Code/Perl/func_abc.pl. # pl_subcalls.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C FILE SUB CALLS func_abc.pl func_a 1 func_abc.pl func_b 1 func_abc.pl func_c 1 While tracing, func_a() from the program "func_abc.pl" was executed once, along with func_b() and func_c(). The following traces a Perl network interface statistics tool, "nicstat" version 0.99, # pl_subcalls.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C FILE SUB CALLS Config.pm DESTROY 1 Config.pm TIEHASH 1 Config.pm import 1 DynaLoader.pm bootstrap 1 DynaLoader.pm dl_load_flags 1 Std.pm getopts 1 nicstat fetch_net_data 1 nicstat find_nets 1 register.pm import 1 warnings.pm BEGIN 1 Config.pm BEGIN 2 DynaLoader.pm BEGIN 2 Exporter.pm import 2 register.pm mkMask 2 vars.pm import 2 Kstat.pm BEGIN 3 nicstat BEGIN 3 vars.pm BEGIN 3 Config.pm FETCH 4 strict.pm unimport 4 strict.pm import 5 AutoLoader.pm BEGIN 6 strict.pm bits 6 nicstat print_neat 18 The number of subroutines called by nicstat can be seen above, which includes subroutines from libraries and modules that the program used.
