Dumpvalue(3)	 Perl Programmers Reference Guide    Dumpvalue(3)

NAME
       Dumpvalue - provides screen dump of Perl data.

SYNOPSIS
	 use Dumpvalue;
	 my $dumper = new Dumpvalue;
	 $dumper->set(globPrint => 1);
	 $dumper->dumpValue(\*::);
	 $dumper->dumpvars('main');

DESCRIPTION
       Creation

       A new dumper is created by a call

	 $d = new Dumpvalue(option1 => value1, option2 => value2)

       Recognized options:

       ""arrayDepth"", ""hashDepth""
	   Print only first N elements of arrays and hashes.  If
	   false, prints all the elements.

       ""compactDump"", ""veryCompact""
	   Change style of array and hash dump.	 If true, short
	   array may be printed on one line.

       ""globPrint""
	   Whether to print contents of globs.

       ""DumpDBFiles""
	   Dump arrays holding contents of debugged files.

       ""DumpPackages""
	   Dump symbol tables of packages.

       ""DumpReused""
	   Dump contents of "reused" addresses.

       ""tick"", ""HighBit"", ""printUndef""
	   Change style of string dump.	 Default value of "tick"
	   is "auto", one can enable either double-quotish dump,
	   or single-quotish by setting it to """ or "'".  By
	   default, characters with high bit set are printed as
	   is.

       ""UsageOnly""
	   very rudimentally per-package memory usage dump.  If
	   set, "dumpvars" calculates total size of strings in
	   variables in the package.

       unctrl
	   Changes the style of printout of strings.  Possible
	   values are "unctrl" and "quote".

       subdump
	   Whether to try to find the subroutine name given the
	   reference.

       bareStringify
	   Whether to write the non-overloaded form of the
	   stringify-overloaded objects.

       quoteHighBit
	   Whether to print chars with high bit set in binary or
	   "as is".

       stopDbSignal
	   Whether to abort printing if debugger signal flag is
	   raised.

       Later in the life of the object the methods may be queries
       with get() method and set() method (which accept multiple
       arguments).

       Methods

       dumpValue
	     $dumper->dumpValue($value);
	     $dumper->dumpValue([$value1, $value2]);

       dumpValues
	     $dumper->dumpValues($value1, $value2);

       dumpvars
	     $dumper->dumpvars('my_package');
	     $dumper->dumpvars('my_package', 'foo', '~bar$', '!......');

	   The optional arguments are considered as literal
	   strings unless they start with "~" or "!", in which
	   case they are interpreted as regular expressions (pos
	   sibly negated).

	   The second example prints entries with names "foo",
	   and also entries with names which ends on "bar", or
	   are shorter than 5 chars.

       set_quote
	     $d->set_quote('"');

	   Sets "tick" and "unctrl" options to suitable values
	   for printout with the given quote char.  Possible val
	   ues are "auto", "'" and """.

       set_unctrl
	     $d->set_unctrl('"');

	   Sets "unctrl" option with checking for an invalid
	   argument.  Possible values are "unctrl" and "quote".

       compactDump
	     $d->compactDump(1);

	   Sets "compactDump" option.  If the value is 1, sets to
	   a reasonable big number.

       veryCompact
	     $d->veryCompact(1);

	   Sets "compactDump" and "veryCompact" options simulta
	   neously.

       set
	     $d->set(option1 => value1, option2 => value2);

       get
	     @values = $d->get('option1', 'option2');
