Sorry for the second post here but reading the code I thought of one more feature that may be possible.and will try to work out for myself, but I am unsure of the side effects.

If a SINGLE value is passed, how hard would it be to have it eval the passed expression and then return that from _trace()?

That way, the TRACE macro could be used in-situ in the code, and by a suitable test of some flag (possibly the systems debug settings) either Trace or not trace and the program would still fuction (possibly inefficiently).

Does this thought have any merit?

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
