DESCRIPTION

This package modifies the consuming package and provides methods for dumping the object or the return value of a dispatched method call.

METHODS

This package provides the following methods:

dump

dump(Str | CodeRef $method, Any @args) (Str)

The dump method returns a string representation of the underlying data. This method supports dispatching, i.e. providing a method name and arguments whose return value will be acted on by this method.

Since 0.01

dump example 1

package main;

my $example = Example->new(test => 123);

my $dump = $example->dump;

# "bless( {test => 123}, 'Example' )"

dump_pretty

dump_pretty(Str | CodeRef $method, Any @args) (Str)

The dump_pretty method returns a string representation of the underlying data that is human-readable and useful for debugging. This method supports dispatching, i.e. providing a method name and arguments whose return value will be acted on by this method.

Since 0.01
