The following are examples of pl_subcalls.d.
This is a simple script to count executed Perl subroutines. Here it traces
an example program, Code/Perl/func_abc.pl.
# pl_subcalls.d
Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
^C
FILE SUB CALLS
func_abc.pl func_a 1
func_abc.pl func_b 1
func_abc.pl func_c 1
While tracing, func_a() from the program "func_abc.pl" was executed once,
along with func_b() and func_c().
The following traces a Perl network interface statistics tool, "nicstat"
version 0.99,
# pl_subcalls.d
Tracing... Hit Ctrl-C to end.
^C
FILE SUB CALLS
Config.pm DESTROY 1
Config.pm TIEHASH 1

nicstat print_neat 18
The number of subroutines called by nicstat can be seen above, which includes
subroutines from libraries and modules that the program used.
