Data::Dumper::Concise(User Contributed Perl DocumentatData::Dumper::Concise(3)

NAME
       Data::Dumper::Concise - Less indentation and newlines plus sub
       deparsing

SYNOPSIS
	 use Data::Dumper::Concise;

	 warn Dumper($var);

       is equivalent to:

	 use Data::Dumper;
	 {
	   local $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1;
	   local $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1;
	   local $Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
	   local $Data::Dumper::Deparse = 1;
	   local $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys = 0;
	   local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1;
	   warn Dumper($var);
	 }

       So for the structure:

	 { foo => "bar\nbaz", quux => sub { "fleem" } };

       Data::Dumper::Concise will give you:

	 {
	   foo => "bar\nbaz",
	   quux => sub {
	       use warnings;
	       use strict 'refs';
	       'fleem';
	   }
	 }

       instead of the default Data::Dumper output:

	 $VAR1 = {
	  'quux' => sub { "DUMMY" },
	  'foo' => 'bar
	 baz'
	 };

       (note the tab indentation, oh joy ...)

       If you need to get the underlying Dumper object just call
       "DumperObject".

       Also try out "DumperF" which takes a "CodeRef" as the first argument to
       format the output.  For example:

	 use Data::Dumper::Concise;

	 warn DumperF { "result: $_[0] result2: $_[1]" } $foo, $bar;

       Which is the same as:

	 warn 'result: ' . Dumper($foo) . ' result2: ' . Dumper($bar);

DESCRIPTION
       This module always exports a single function, Dumper, which can be
       called with an array of values to dump those values.

       It exists, fundamentally, as a convenient way to reproduce a set of
       Dumper options that we've found ourselves using across large numbers of
       applications, primarily for debugging output.

       The principle guiding theme is "all the concision you can get while
       still having a useful dump and not doing anything cleverer than setting
       Data::Dumper options" - it's been pointed out to us that
       Data::Dump::Streamer can produce shorter output with less lines of
       code. We know. This is simpler and we've never seen it segfault. But
       for complex/weird structures, it generally rocks.  You should use it as
       well, when Concise is underkill. We do.

       Why is deparsing on when the aim is concision? Because you often want
       to know what subroutine refs you have when debugging and because if you
       were planning to eval this back in you probably wanted to remove
       subrefs first and add them back in a custom way anyway. Note that this
       -does- force using the pure perl Dumper rather than the XS one, but
       I've never in my life seen Data::Dumper show up in a profile so "who
       cares?".

BUT BUT BUT ...
       Yes, we know. Consider this module in the ::Tiny spirit and feel free
       to write a Data::Dumper::Concise::ButWithExtraTwiddlyBits if it makes
       you happy. Then tell us so we can add it to the see also section.

SUGARY SYNTAX
       This package also provides:

       Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar - provides Dwarn and DwarnS convenience
       functions

       Devel::Dwarn - shorter form for Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar

SEE ALSO
       We use for some purposes, and dearly love, the following alternatives:

       Data::Dump - prettiness oriented but not amazingly configurable

       Data::Dump::Streamer - brilliant. beautiful. insane. extensive.
       excessive. try it.

       JSON::XS - no, really. If it's just plain data, JSON is a great option.
