=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
||
|
Given a list of scalars or reference variables, writes out their contents in
|
||
|
perl syntax. The references can also be objects. The contents of each
|
||
|
variable is output in a single Perl statement. Handles self-referential
|
||
|
structures correctly.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The return value can be C<eval>ed to get back an identical copy of the
|
||
|
original reference structure.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Any references that are the same as one of those passed in will be named
|
||
|
C<$VAR>I<n> (where I<n> is a numeric suffix), and other duplicate references
|
||
|
to substructures within C<$VAR>I<n> will be appropriately labeled using arrow
|
||
|
notation. You can specify names for individual values to be dumped if you
|
||
|
use the C<Dump()> method, or you can change the default C<$VAR> prefix to
|
||
|
something else. See C<$Data::Dumper::Varname> and C<$Data::Dumper::Terse>
|
||
|
below.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The default output of self-referential structures can be C<eval>ed, but the
|
||
|
nested references to C<$VAR>I<n> will be undefined, since a recursive
|
||
|
structure cannot be constructed using one Perl statement. You should set the
|
||
|
C<Purity> flag to 1 to get additional statements that will correctly fill in
|
||
|
these references.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In the extended usage form, the references to be dumped can be given
|
||
|
user-specified names. If a name begins with a C<*>, the output will
|
||
|
describe the dereferenced type of the supplied reference for hashes and
|
||
|
arrays, and coderefs. Output of names will be avoided where possible if
|
||
|
the C<Terse> flag is set.
|
||
|
|
||
|
In many cases, methods that are used to set the internal state of the
|
||
|
object will return the object itself, so method calls can be conveniently
|
||
|
chained together.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Several styles of output are possible, all controlled by setting
|
||
|
the C<Indent> flag. See L<Configuration Variables or Methods> below
|
||
|
for details.

|
|

=over 4
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<PACKAGE>->new(I<ARRAYREF [>, I<ARRAYREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns a newly created C<Data::Dumper> object. The first argument is an
|
||
|
anonymous array of values to be dumped. The optional second argument is an
|
||
|
anonymous array of names for the values. The names need not have a leading
|
||
|
C<$> sign, and must be comprised of alphanumeric characters. You can begin
|
||
|
a name with a C<*> to specify that the dereferenced type must be dumped
|
||
|
instead of the reference itself, for ARRAY and HASH references.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The prefix specified by C<$Data::Dumper::Varname> will be used with a
|
||
|
numeric suffix if the name for a value is undefined.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Data::Dumper will catalog all references encountered while dumping the
|
||
|
values. Cross-references (in the form of names of substructures in perl
|
||
|
syntax) will be inserted at all possible points, preserving any structural
|
||
|
interdependencies in the original set of values. Structure traversal is
|
||
|
depth-first, and proceeds in order from the first supplied value to
|
||
|
the last.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Dump I<or> I<PACKAGE>->Dump(I<ARRAYREF [>, I<ARRAYREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns the stringified form of the values stored in the object (preserving
|
||
|
the order in which they were supplied to C<new>), subject to the
|
||
|
configuration options below. In an array context, it returns a list
|
||
|
of strings corresponding to the supplied values.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The second form, for convenience, simply calls the C<new> method on its
|
||
|
arguments before dumping the object immediately.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Dumpxs I<or> I<PACKAGE>->Dumpxs(I<ARRAYREF [>, I<ARRAYREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
This method is available if you were able to compile and install the XSUB
|
||
|
extension to C<Data::Dumper>. It is exactly identical to the C<Dump> method
|
||
|
above, only about 4 to 5 times faster, since it is written entirely in C.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Seen(I<[HASHREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Queries or adds to the internal table of already encountered references.
|
||
|
You must use C<Reset> to explicitly clear the table if needed. Such
|
||
|
references are not dumped; instead, their names are inserted wherever they
|
||
|
are encountered subsequently. This is useful especially for properly
|
||
|
dumping subroutine references.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Expects a anonymous hash of name => value pairs. Same rules apply for names
|
||
|
as in C<new>. If no argument is supplied, will return the "seen" list of
|
||
|
name => value pairs, in an array context. Otherwise, returns the object
|
||
|
itself.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Values(I<[ARRAYREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Queries or replaces the internal array of values that will be dumped.
|
||
|
When called without arguments, returns the values. Otherwise, returns the
|
||
|
object itself.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Names(I<[ARRAYREF]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Queries or replaces the internal array of user supplied names for the values
|
||
|
that will be dumped. When called without arguments, returns the names.
|
||
|
Otherwise, returns the object itself.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item I<$OBJ>->Reset
|
||
|
|
||
|
Clears the internal table of "seen" references and returns the object
|
||
|
itself.

|

=item Dumper(I<LIST>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Returns the stringified form of the values in the list, subject to the
|
||
|
configuration options below. The values will be named C<$VAR>I<n> in the
|
||
|
output, where I<n> is a numeric suffix. Will return a list of strings
|
||
|
in an array context.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item DumperX(I<LIST>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Identical to the C<Dumper()> function above, but this calls the XSUB
|
||
|
implementation. Only available if you were able to compile and install
|
||
|
the XSUB extensions in C<Data::Dumper>.

||

|
=head2 Configuration Variables or Methods
|
||
|
|
||
|
Several configuration variables can be used to control the kind of output
|
||
|
generated when using the procedural interface. These variables are usually
|
||
|
C<local>ized in a block so that other parts of the code are not affected by
|
||
|
the change.
|
||
|
|
||
|
These variables determine the default state of the object created by calling
|
||
|
the C<new> method, but cannot be used to alter the state of the object
|
||
|
thereafter. The equivalent method names should be used instead to query
|
||
|
or set the internal state of the object.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The method forms return the object itself when called with arguments,
|
||
|
so that they can be chained together nicely.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=over 4
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Indent I<or> I<$OBJ>->Indent(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Controls the style of indentation. It can be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3. Style 0
|
||
|
spews output without any newlines, indentation, or spaces between list
|
||
|
items. It is the most compact format possible that can still be called
|
||
|
valid perl. Style 1 outputs a readable form with newlines but no fancy
|
||
|
indentation (each level in the structure is simply indented by a fixed
|
||
|
amount of whitespace). Style 2 (the default) outputs a very readable form
|
||
|
which takes into account the length of hash keys (so the hash value lines
|
||
|
up). Style 3 is like style 2, but also annotates the elements of arrays
|
||
|
with their index (but the comment is on its own line, so array output
|
||
|
consumes twice the number of lines). Style 2 is the default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Purity I<or> I<$OBJ>->Purity(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Controls the degree to which the output can be C<eval>ed to recreate the
|
||
|
supplied reference structures. Setting it to 1 will output additional perl
|
||
|
statements that will correctly recreate nested references. The default is
|
||
|
0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Pad I<or> I<$OBJ>->Pad(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Specifies the string that will be prefixed to every line of the output.
|
||
|
Empty string by default.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Varname I<or> I<$OBJ>->Varname(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Contains the prefix to use for tagging variable names in the output. The
|
||
|
default is "VAR".
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Useqq I<or> I<$OBJ>->Useqq(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
When set, enables the use of double quotes for representing string values.
|
||
|
Whitespace other than space will be represented as C<[\n\t\r]>, "unsafe"
|
||
|
characters will be backslashed, and unprintable characters will be output as
|
||
|
quoted octal integers. Since setting this variable imposes a performance
|
||
|
penalty, the default is 0. The C<Dumpxs()> method does not honor this
|
||
|
flag yet.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Terse I<or> I<$OBJ>->Terse(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
When set, Data::Dumper will emit single, non-self-referential values as
|
||
|
atoms/terms rather than statements. This means that the C<$VAR>I<n> names
|
||
|
will be avoided where possible, but be advised that such output may not
|
||
|
always be parseable by C<eval>.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Freezer I<or> $I<OBJ>->Freezer(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature.
|
||
|
Data::Dumper will invoke that method via the object before attempting to
|
||
|
stringify it. This method can alter the contents of the object (if, for
|
||
|
instance, it contains data allocated from C), and even rebless it in a
|
||
|
different package. The client is responsible for making sure the specified
|
||
|
method can be called via the object, and that the object ends up containing
|
||
|
only perl data types after the method has been called. Defaults to an empty
|
||
|
string.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Toaster I<or> $I<OBJ>->Toaster(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature.
|
||
|
Data::Dumper will emit a method call for any objects that are to be dumped
|
||
|
using the syntax C<bless(DATA, CLASS)->METHOD()>. Note that this means that
|
||
|
the method specified will have to perform any modifications required on the
|
||
|
object (like creating new state within it, and/or reblessing it in a
|
||
|
different package) and then return it. The client is responsible for making
|
||
|
sure the method can be called via the object, and that it returns a valid
|
||
|
object. Defaults to an empty string.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Deepcopy I<or> $I<OBJ>->Deepcopy(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can be set to a boolean value to enable deep copies of structures.
|
||
|
Cross-referencing will then only be done when absolutely essential
|
||
|
(i.e., to break reference cycles). Default is 0.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Quotekeys(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can be set to a boolean value to control whether hash keys are quoted.
|
||
|
A false value will avoid quoting hash keys when it looks like a simple
|
||
|
string. Default is 1, which will always enclose hash keys in quotes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
=item $Data::Dumper::Bless I<or> $I<OBJ>->Bless(I<[NEWVAL]>)
|
||
|
|
||
|
Can be set to a string that specifies an alternative to the C<bless>
|
||
|
builtin operator used to create objects. A function with the specified
|
||
|
name should exist, and should accept the same arguments as the builtin.
|
||
|
Default is C<bless>.

=head1 BUGS
|
||
|
|
||
|
Due to limitations of Perl subroutine call semantics, you cannot pass an
|
||
|
array or hash. Prepend it with a C<\> to pass its reference instead. This
|
||
|
will be remedied in time, with the arrival of prototypes in later versions
|
||
|
of Perl. For now, you need to use the extended usage form, and prepend the
|
||
|
name with a C<*> to output it as a hash or array.
|
||
|
|
||
|
C<Data::Dumper> cheats with CODE references. If a code reference is
|
||
|
encountered in the structure being processed, an anonymous subroutine that
|
||
|
contains the string '"DUMMY"' will be inserted in its place, and a warning
|
||
|
will be printed if C<Purity> is set. You can C<eval> the result, but bear
|
||
|
in mind that the anonymous sub that gets created is just a placeholder.
|
||
|
Someday, perl will have a switch to cache-on-demand the string
|
||
|
representation of a compiled piece of code, I hope. If you have prior
|
||
|
knowledge of all the code refs that your data structures are likely
|
||
|
to have, you can use the C<Seen> method to pre-seed the internal reference
|
||
|
table and make the dumped output point to them, instead. See L<EXAMPLES>
|
||
|
above.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The C<Useqq> flag is not honored by C<Dumpxs()> (it always outputs
|
||
|
strings in single quotes).
|
||
|
|
||
|
SCALAR objects have the weirdest looking C<bless> workaround.
