This module provides a single function called dump() that takes a
|
||
|
|
list of values as its argument and produces a string as its result.
|
||
|
|
The string contains Perl code that, when evaled, produces a deep
|
||
|
|
copy of the original arguments. The string is formatted for easy
|
||
|
|
reading.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If dump() is called in a void context, then the dump is printed on
|
||
|
|
STDERR instead of being returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you don't like importing a function that overrides Perl's
|
||
|
|
not-so-useful builtin, then you can also import the same function
|
||
|
|
as pp(), mnemonic for "pretty-print".
