=head1 NAME
pp-perl - Pretty-print (and colorize) Perl data structure
=head1 VERSION
This document describes version 0.165 of pp-perl (from Perl distribution App-SerializeUtils), released on 2022-03-20.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
By default, when in interactive mode will load Perl data structure using eval()
and dump+colorize it using L<Data::Dump::Color>, and when piped will
dump data using L<Data::Dump>.
=head1 OPTIONS
=head2 --eval (default)
Use eval() to load the Perl data structure.
=head2 --undump
Use L<Data::Undump> instead of eval() to load the Perl data structure. This is
safer and faster, but more limited.
=head2 --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.
=head1 ENVIRONMENT
=head2 COLOR
Boolean. Set default for color.
=head1 HOMEPAGE

=head1 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 L<Dist::Zilla>,
L<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.
