Debugging HTML::Mason

[shahramatrian]

Hi. I'm a Perl newbie so please take it easy if my question looks silly.
Is there any way to debug HTML::Mason scripts? I couldn't set breakpoints on those scripts, so here is what I do:

1. I run the application from IDE in debug mode (Best Practical RT in this case)
2. I set breakpoints on corresponding compiled files (with .obj extension). For example /opt/rt5/var/mason_data/obj/3642352085/standard/Ticket/Display.html.obj
3. I open related URL page (/Ticket/Display.html

I expect the debugger to stop on a breakpoint but it doesn't although breakpoints on other Perl scripts and packages work properly.
Can you please help?

It doesn't work out of the box and requires support from the framework side, HTML::Mason in this case. See https://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Camelcadedb#TEMPLATE-ENGINES-INTEGRATION

Perl's breakpoints are just an elements of hash:

{
   '/foo/bar/baz.pl' => 5,
} 

And perl knows which code is from which file. This is how breakpoints works.
I presume that these obj files are loaded by mason (not perl itself) and evaled. So actually they are all some kind of eval(123) instead of real path.
Ide sends breakpoints to debugger as is, but debugger may do the mapping.
