NAME
CGI::Lazy::Utility::Debug
DESCRIPTION
CGI::Lazy::Utility::Debug is a bunch of useful CGI debugging functions that I got tired of writing by hand when I needed to figure out what wierdness is happening in a script
SYNOPSIS
use CGI::Lazy;
my $q = CGI::Lazy->new('/path/to/config/file');
my $t = $q->utility->debug;
$t->param(); #dumps html formatted CGI parameters to browser.
$t->env(); #dumps html formatted %ENV to browser.
$t->dump($ref, "some string"); #dumps html formatted output from Data::Dumper (if ref) or string (if scalar) to browser.
$t->cookie(); #dumps info regarding cookies to browser.
$t->edump($ref, "some string"); #dumps to external file, appending at each subsequent call.
$t->edumpreplace($ref); #dumps to external file, overwriting at each callMETHODS
