  Description     : Perl module providing interactive run-time visualizations of regular expressions

Regexp::Debuger is a module that helps tame unruly regexes by providing live
interactive run-time visualizations of any regex in a Perl code. The debugger
allows one to  track capture variables, follow recursive subpattern matches,
set break-points within a regex match, and even step backwards through the
matching process to work out exactly where things started going so horribly
wrong.

This module is not yet published but will be probably after oscon[1].

I will package it unter the Debian Perl Group umbrella.
