SYNOPSIS

  # alternatively, see the dataWalker.pl script in this distribution!
  use Wx::Perl::DataWalker;
  
  my $data_to_browse = {
    # complex data structure.
    # Good test: \%::
  };
  
  package MyWalkerDialog;
  our @ISA = qw(Wx::App);
  
  sub OnInit {
      my $self = shift;

        {data => $data_to_browse},
        undef, -1,
        "dataWalker",
      );

DESCRIPTION

"Wx::Perl::DataWalker" implements a "Wx::Frame" subclass that shows a relatively simple Perl data structure browser. After opening such a frame and supplying it with a reference to an essentially arbitrary data structure, you can visually browse it by double-clicking references.

So far, there is no tree view but only a display of the current level of the data structure. You can traverse back up the structure with a back button.

Optionally, "Wx::Perl::DataWalker" displays the (approximate!) size of the data structure using "Devel::Size".
