DumperX

[tame1]

Does anyone know of a handy-dandy HOWTO for Data::Dumper::DumperX?

The perldoc isn't exactly clear, and I know what I need -
I always want my complex hash done up as a one line, one var ($VAR1 = )
text line. No \n's, no indents, etc. As I said, the perldoc is a little
shy on HOWTO type help.

What does this little button do . .<Click>; "USER HAS SIGNED OFF FOR THE DAY"

@struct = ( { foo => 'bar'},
            [ 1,2,3 ],
            4,5,6
          );
use Data::Dumper;
for $i (0..3) {
    $Data::Dumper::Indent = $i;
    print Dumper(\@struct),"\n\n";
}

cheers

{
local  $Data::Dumper::Indent = 0;
Dumper($myVar);
}

Pretty much verbatim from the Data::Dumper perldoc.

Just remember not to confuse Data::Dumper->Dump, and dump.

I misremembered how to use Data::Dumper once, and wrote something like:

use Data::Dumper;

my $a;

# build up complex thingy in $a

# dump it out to try to debug what's wrong with it
print dump($a);

Took me quite a while to realize that Data::Dumper wasn't what was core dumping my program, the dump built-in was... :)
