32.12. Dumpvalue
use Dumpvalue;
Dumpvalue->new->dumpValue($store);
When used on the example from
Class::Struct, this prints:
'Shoppe::addrs' => ARRAY(0x9c1d4)
0 'Miskatonic University'
1 'Innsmouth, Mass.'
'Shoppe::boss' => Manager=HASH(0xa5754)
'Manager::name' => 'Prof L. P. Haitch'
'Manager::salary' => 'madness'
'Manager::started' => 'Sat Apr 1 16:18:13 2000'
'Shoppe::owner' => 'Abdul Alhazred'
'Shoppe::stock' => HASH(0xfdbb4)
'books' => 208
'charms' => 3
'potions' => 'none'
This is another module to help display complex data. It's not so
much meant for marshalling as it is for pretty printing. It's used
by the Perl debugger's
x command. As such, it offers a dizzying
wealth of options to control the output format. It also provides
convenient access to Perl's package symbol tables to dump out the
contents of an entire package.
