NAME

CGI::Carp::DebugScreen::Dumper - Dump a variable as an HTML table

SYNOPSIS

use CGI::Carp::DebugScreen::Dumper;

my $table = CGI::Carp::DebugScreen::Dumper->dump($thingy);

print "Content-type:text/html\n\n", $table;

DESCRIPTION

This module dumps the contents of a variable (supposedly, a reference) as an HTML table. If the variable has something unfit for an HTML output, it dumps alternative texts such as '*BINARY*', '*CODE*', or '*GLOB*'. It also escapes every key and value, so all you have to do is print some headers (likely to have been printed) and the dumped table. Dead easy.

METHOD

Currently this module has only one package method.

dump()

takes a variable (supposedly, a reference) and returns an HTML table.

TODO

I'm afraid that this module should have another (and shorter) name and stand alone. The dumps() method should take array, hash, or multiple variables.
