my $provider = Devel::DTrace::Provider->new('provider1', 'perl');

my $probes = $provider->enable;

if ($probes->{probe1}->is_enabled()) {

DESCRIPTION

This is the actual probe object, providing methods to call the 'is_enabled' tracepoint function, and the actual 'fire' tracepoint function.

METHODS

is_enabled
