NAME
Template::Plugin::Dumpvar - Dump template data in the same style as the
debugger
SYNOPSIS
[% USE Dumpvar %]
[% Dumpvar.dump(this) %]
[% Dumpvar.dump_html(theother) %]
DESCRIPTION
When dumping data in templates, the obvious first choice is to use the
Data::Dumper plugin Template::Plugin::Dumper. But personally, I think
the layout is ugly and hard to read. It's designed to be parsed back in
by perl, not to necesarily be easy on the eye.
The dump style used in the debugger, however, IS designed to be easier
on the eye. The dumpvar.pl script it uses to do this has been cloned for
general use as Devel::Dumpvar. This module is a drop in replacement for
Template::Plugin::Dumper that uses Devel::Dumpvar in place of
Data::Dumper.
The only difference is that this module only dumps one scalar,
reference, or object at a time.
METHODS
dump $something
Dumps a single structure via Devel::Dumpvar. Does not escape for HTML.
dump_html $something
As above, but also escapes and formats for HTML
