[Haskell-cafe] global, modifiable variable for debugging

[briand at aracnet.com]

Hi,

I have a program with a debug flag in it (Strangely I've yet to be
able to write bug-free code).  I'd like to change the state of the
debug flag based on command line args.

I looked at IOVar but that would cause all the pure procedures to get
swallowed by the IO Monad.

Is a better way to get this behavior ?

Thanks,

Brian
