  Let's work together on this. When I browsed the github repository there seems to be a layer of dealing with sockets and parsing text output that should its own separate Module. In fact it would be the same thing you'd use if you were doing a Padre or GNU Emacs front end. In other words, there is a fair bit of code there that has nothing to do with VIM per se.

  Thanks for the correction. perl5db.pl in Perl 5.16.1 has only 9,493 lines; so 10K lines is a little a slight overstatement. But the point I was trying to make (and 10K bytes doesn't do it) still holds: that this is unusually large and to what extent.

  Also in fairness to perl5db.pl, I should say that in total lines of code Devel::Trepan is most certainly larger. But the code is split over more than 160 files. And even with this, there are some features that perl5db.pl has that are not in Devel::Trepan yet.

  But again, thanks for that correc…
