Affrus is a Perl editing and debugging environment that provides users with integrated functions to edit and debug their code easily. With Affrus, users can debug Perl code more effectively, ensuring quick detection and correction of errors. The software comes with a range of features that enable efficient and convenient programming.
With a standardized, intuitive user interface, Affrus boasts a variety of key features such as a single-window editing and debugging UI design, find and replace, drag and drop functionality, split-pane editing, and unlimited undo and redo capabilities. A Table of Contents popup menu, contextual Perl navigation menu as well as the ability to locate handler/variable declarations, list in-scope variables, and display perldoc documentation for Perl commands and modules are all included as well.
You can also view and change breakpoints as you edit, run with one of many command line argument sets, pass files to @ARGV by simply dragging them into the Finder, and debug new unsaved scripts and scripts with unsaved changes. Other optional features include line number display, line wrapping, Perl syntax highlighting, bracket, brace and structure balancing, shift selection right and left, comment and uncomment selection, and tooltips displaying expression values while debugging.
There is a current line and subroutine indicator, as well as access to a range of Perl boilerplate code through the Scripts palette. Additionally, Affrus has integration with Perltidy for easy code formatting, variable declaration highlighting, multiple clipboards, and environment variable definition. It also supports multiple Perl configurations.
Affrus requires Mac OS X 10.2 or later and either Perl 5.6 or Perl 5.8. The only limitation to Affrus is that it will run only in demonstration mode for a period of 30 days. During this period, Affrus is fully functional.
In the latest release, Affrus addresses a bug that caused Perl crashes when scripts complete executing normally on Intel Macintoshes. Overall, AAAffrus is a reliable and comprehensive software that will suit all your Perl development needs.
