Critics have remarked that those four worthies were truly peerless throughout the ages; yet the present falls short of the past—the ancients favored unadorned simplicity, whereas the moderns prefer refined elegance. Styles of substance and ornament rise and fall in succession, shifting with the changing mores of the times; such evolution is simply the natural order of things. The ideal lies in honoring antiquity without clashing with the present, and embracing modernity without succumbing to its flaws—embodying that perfect balance of substance and refinement that defines the true gentleman. There is surely no need to abandon a carved palace in favor of a cave dwelling, or to trade a jade carriage for a primitive cart with solid wooden wheels.

=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.
