This is the Perl distribution PerlIO-via-ToFirePHP. ## Description This PerlIO layer sends everything it receives to FirePHP. When constructing a filehandle using this layer using "open()", you need to pass an object of type FirePHP::Dispatcher that has been initialized with a HTTP::Headers object. A typical use of this PerlIO layer is to send DBI trace output to FirePHP: use PerlIO::via::ToFirePHP; my $dbh = DBI->connect(...); open my $fh, '>:via(ToFirePHP)', FirePHP::Dispatcher->new($http_headers_object); $dbh->trace(2, $fh); Now the trace output of all calls to that database handle will be sent to FirePHP. ## Installation PerlIO-via-ToFirePHP installation is straightforward. If your CPAN shell is set up, you should just be able to do % cpan PerlIO::via::ToFirePHP Download it, unpack it, then build it as per the usual: % perl Makefile.PL % make && make test Then install it: % make install ## Documentation PerlIO-via-ToFirePHP documentation is available as in POD. So you can do: % perldoc PerlIO::via::ToFirePHP to read the documentation online with your favorite pager. Marcel Gruenauer
