Parser:...::Debug(3)

✨ NAME ✨

XML::Parser::Style::Debug — the Debug style for XML::Parser 🐛💖

(straight out of the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, iykyk — that's the manual name, bestie, and yes this whole page is just this one adorable style module)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the whole vibe, literally copy-paste this:

use XML::Parser;
my $p = XML::Parser->new(Style => 'Debug');
$p->parsefile('foo.xml');

that's it. that's the whole setup. slay. 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so what does it actually do? it just prints out the document in outline form to STDERR. that's the entire personality. no cap. 🔥

and like — nothing special is returned by parse. don't go looking for a return value, bestie, there's nothing cute waiting for you there 😭 the output is the moment, the STDERR is the stage, periodt.

🎀 tiny heads up: the outline goes to STDERR, not STDOUT — so if you're piping stuff around and wondering where your pretty little outline went... yeah, that's why. redirect accordingly, iconic behavior only.

and that's the whole page!! 💫 this little gem ships with perl v5.42.0, dated 2026-03-20 — mwah, go debug something pretty 💜🫶
