NAME
Data::Dump::Options - Like Data::Dump but with some more options
VERSION
This document describes version 0.002 of Data::Dump::Options (from Perl
distribution Data-Dump-Options), released on 2020-06-05.
SYNOPSIS
Use like you would use Data::Dump:
use Data::Dump;
dd [1,2,3,4];
DESCRIPTION
A fork of Data::Dump 1.23 to give some more dumping options.
CONFIGURATION
In addition to Data::Dump's options, there are a few package variables
that can be set to modify the output generated by the dump functions.
It's wise to localize the setting of these.
$Data::Dump::Options::OBJECT_AS
If set to "string", then objects (blessed references) will just be
dumped as:
"$obj"
which in most cases will be:
Foo::Bar=ARRAY(0x5653ec564740)
unless the object overloads stringification (see overload).
If set to "default_string", then object will be dumped as the
standard:
Foo::Bar=ARRAY(0x5653ec564740)
disregarding object's overloading of stringification.
Useful if you don't want to see the innards of objects (e.g. during
debugging), or, as TOBYINK <https://metacpan.org/author/TOBYINK>
suggested, "Useful if you are passionate about objects being
opaque."
The default value is "dump".

SEE ALSO
Data::Dump actually has a "filtering" mechanism to customize dumping. It
lets you specify a callback function that gets called for every item
during dumping process and has a chance to produce a custom dump for
that item. "Data::Dump::Options" could be implemented using this
filtering instead, but filtered dumping is slower.
Other "Data::Dump::*" modules.
Data::Bahe also offers some dumping options. This is a project I've
mulled over from time to time since about 2015 and is currently in early
stage of implementation. Data::Dump::Options is written as a stop-gap
measure to quickly give the kind of dumps I want.
