The following are examples of pl_who.d. This is a simple script to see who is executing Perl subroutines. Here it traces as a few examples programs are executed (from Code/Perl/*.pl). # pl_who.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C PID UID SUBS FILE 30817 100 3 ./func_abc.pl 30818 100 3 ./func_slow.pl 30819 100 3 ./func_slow.pl While tracing, the user with UID 100 executed three Perl programs; "func_abc.pl" once getting PID 130817, and "func_slow.pl" twice. All programs called three subroutines. The following traces a Perl network interface statistics tool, "nicstat" version 0.99, # pl_who.d Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end. ^C PID UID SUBS FILE 14977 100 1 lib/Getopt/Std.pm 14977 100 1 lib/warnings.pm 14977 100 2 lib/Exporter.pm 14977 100 3 /usr/perl5/5.8.4/lib/Sun/Solaris/Kstat.pm 14977 100 3 lib/warnings/register.pm 14977 100 4 lib/DynaLoader.pm 14977 100 5 lib/vars.pm 14977 100 6 lib/AutoLoader.pm 14977 100 9 lib/Config.pm 14977 100 15 lib/strict.pm 14977 100 23 /tmp/nicstat This shows the location of libraries and modules from where subroutines were called.
