CGI::Ex::Dump(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation CGI::Ex::Dump(3)NAMECGI::Ex::Dump - A debug utility
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Ex::Dump; # auto imports dex, dex_warn, dex_text and others
my $hash = {
foo => ['a', 'b', 'Foo','a', 'b', 'Foo','a', 'b', 'Foo','a'],
};
dex $hash; # or dex_warn $hash;
dex;
dex "hi";
dex $hash, "hi", $hash;
dex \@INC; # print to STDOUT, or format for web if $ENV{REQUEST_METHOD}
dex_warn \@INC; # same as dex but to STDOUT
print FOO dex_text \@INC; # same as dex but return dump
# ALSO #
use CGI::Ex::Dumpqw(debug);
debug; # same as dex
DESCRIPTION
Uses the base Data::Dumper of the distribution and gives it nicer
formatting - and allows for calling just about anytime during
execution.
Calling &CGI::Ex::set_deparse() will allow for dumped output of
subroutines if available.
perl -e 'use CGI::Ex::Dump; dex "foo";'
See also Data::Dumper.
Setting any of the Data::Dumper globals will alter the output.
SUBROUTINES
"dex", "debug"
Prints out pretty output to STDOUT. Formatted for the web if on
the web.
"dex_warn"
Prints to STDERR.
"dex_text"
Return the text as a scalar.
"ctrace"
Caller trace returned as an arrayref. Suitable for use like "debug
ctrace". This does require at least perl 5.8.0's Carp.
"on", "off"
Turns calls to routines on or off. Default is to be on.

This module may distributed under the same terms as Perl itself.
