=head1 NAME

Pod::Simple::Debug -- put Pod::Simple into trace/debug mode

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 use Pod::Simple::Debug (5);  # or some integer

Or:

 my $debuglevel;
 use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$debuglevel, 0);
 ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
  you don't want debug output from...

 $debug_level = 4;
 ...some stuff that uses Pod::Simple to do stuff, but which
  you DO want debug output from...

 $debug_level = 0;

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This is an internal module for controlling the debug level (a.k.a. trace
level) of Pod::Simple.  This is of interest only to Pod::Simple
developers.


=head1 CAVEATS

Note that you should load this module I<before> loading Pod::Simple (or
any Pod::Simple-based class).  If you try loading Pod::Simple::Debug
after &Pod::Simple::DEBUG is already defined, Pod::Simple::Debug will
throw a fatal error to the effect that
"It's too late to call Pod::Simple::Debug".

Note that the C<use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$x, I<somenum>)> mode will make
Pod::Simple (et al) run rather slower, since &Pod::Simple::DEBUG won't
be a constant sub anymore, and so Pod::Simple (et al) won't compile with
constant-folding.


=head1 GUTS

Doing this:

  use Pod::Simple::Debug (5);  # or some integer

is basically equivalent to:

  BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () {5} }  # or some integer
  use Pod::Simple ();

And this:

  use Pod::Simple::Debug (\$debug_level,0);  # or some integer

is basically equivalent to this:

  my $debug_level;
  BEGIN { $debug_level = 0 }
  BEGIN { sub Pod::Simple::DEBUG () { $debug_level }
  use Pod::Simple ();
