autobox::dump(3)      User Contributed Perl Documentation     autobox::dump(3)

NAME
       autobox::dump - human/perl readable strings from the results of an EXPR

VERSION
       Version 20090426.1746

SYNOPSIS
       The autobox::dump pragma adds, via the autobox pragma, a method to
       normal expression (such as scalars, arrays, hashes, math, literals,
       etc.)  that produces a human/perl readable representation of the value
       of that expression.

	   use autobox::dump;

	   my $foo = "foo";
	   print $foo->perl;   # "foo";

	   print +(5*6)->perl; # 30;

	   my @a = (1..3);

	   print @a->perl;
	   # [
	   #  1,
	   #  2,
	   #  3
	   # ];

	   print {a=>1, b=>2}->perl;
	   # {
	   #  "a" => 1,
	   #  "b" => 2
	   # };

	   sub func {
	       my ($x, $y) = @_;
	       return $x + $y;
	   }

	   my $func = \&func;
	   print $func->perl;
	   #sub {
	   #	BEGIN {
	   #	    $^H{'autobox_scope'} = q(154456408);
	   #	    $^H{'autobox'} = q(HASH(0x93a3e00));
	   #	    $^H{'autobox_leave'} = q(Scope::Guard=ARRAY(0x9435078));
	   #	}
	   #	my($x, $y) = @_;
	   #	return $x + $y;
	   #}

	   You can set Data::Dumper options by passing either arrayrefs of option
	   and value pairs or just keys (in which case the option will be set to
	   1).	The default options are C<qw/Indent Terse Useqq Sortkeys Deparse/>.

	   print ["a", 0, 1]->perl([Indent => 3], [Varname => "a"], qw/Useqq/);
	   #$a1 = [
	   #	    #0
	   #	    "a",
	   #	    #1
	   #	    0,
	   #	    #2
	   #	    1
	   #	  ];

	   You can also call the class method ->options to set a different default.

	   #set Indent to 0, but leave the rest of the options
	   autobox::dump->options([Indent => 0], qw/Terse Useqq Sortkeys Deparse/);

	   print ["a", 0, 1]->perl; #["a",0,1]

BUGS
       Has all the issues autobox has.

       Has all the issues Data::Dumper has.

       This pragma errs on the side of human readable to the detriment of Perl
       readable.  In particular it uses the terse and deparse options of
       Data::Dumper by default.	 These options may create code that cannot be
       eval'ed.	 For best eval results, set options to "qw/Purity/".  Note,
       this turns off coderef dumping.

       Please report any bugs or feature requests to
       http://github.com/cowens/autobox-dump/issues

SUPPORT
       You can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command.

       a feature I wanted to autobox.
