| PackageDescription | This module is a data dumper optimized for logging of arbitrary parameters.
It attempts to truncate overly verbose data, in a way that is hopefully
more useful for diagnostics warnings than
warn Dumper(@stuff);
Unlike other data dumping modules there are no attempts at correctness or
cross referencing, this is only meant to provide a slightly deeper look
into the data in question.
There is a default recursion limit, and a default truncation of long lists,
and the dump is formatted on one line (new lines in strings are escaped),
to aid in readability.
You can enable it temporarily by importing functions like 'warn', 'croak'
etc to get more informative errors during development, or even use it as:
BEGIN { local $@; eval "use Devel::PartialDump qw(...)" }
to get DWIM formatting only if it's installed, without introducing a
dependency. |
