NAME
Data::Printer::Profile::Dumper - use DDP like Data::Dumper
SYNOPSIS
While loading Data::Printer:
use DDP profile => 'Dumper';While asking for a print:
p $var, profile => 'Dumper';or in your .dataprinter file:
profile = DumperDESCRIPTION
This profile tries to simulate Data::Dumper's output as closely as possible, using Data::Printer, even skipping types unsupported by Data::Dumper like lvalues and formats.
It's not guaranteed to be 100% accurate, but hopefully it's close enough :)
Notable Diferences from Data::Dumper
It's important to notice that this profile tries to emulate Data::Dumper's output, NOT its behaviour. As such, some things are still happening in a much DDP-ish way.
* no $VAR2, ... * return value * prototypes * still called 'p' (say alias = 'Dumper' if you want) * arg is always a reference, so on the top level, references to scalars will be rendered as scalars. References to references and inner references will be rendered properly.
