NAME

pp-perl - Pretty-print (and colorize) Perl data structure

VERSION

This document describes version 0.165 of pp-perl (from Perl distribution App-SerializeUtils), released on 2022-03-20.

DESCRIPTION

By default, when in interactive mode will load Perl data structure using eval() and dump+colorize it using Data::Dump::Color, and when piped will dump data using Data::Dump.

OPTIONS

--eval (default)

Use eval() to load the Perl data structure.

--undump

Use Data::Undump instead of eval() to load the Perl data structure. This is safer and faster, but more limited.

--color, --no-color

Force using color (Data::Dump::Color) or no color. The default is to check whether STDOUT is not piped (interactive mode) to enable color.

ENVIRONMENT

COLOR

Boolean. Set default for color.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla plugin and/or Pod::Weaver::Plugin. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
