Summary : Colored & full-featured pretty print of Perl data structures and objects
Description :
The ever-popular Data::Dumper is a fantastic tool, meant to stringify data
structures in a way they are suitable for being "eval"'ed back in. The
thing is, a lot of people keep using it (and similar ones, like Data::Dump)
to print data structures and objects on screen for inspection and
debugging, and while you _can_ use those modules for that, it doesn't mean
you _should_.
This is where Data::Printer comes in. It is meant to do one thing and one
thing only:
_format Perl variables and objects to be inspected by a human_
If you want to serialize/store/restore Perl data structures, this module
will NOT help you. Try Storable, Data::Dumper, JSON, or whatever. CPAN is
full of such solutions!
Whenever you type 'use Data::Printer' or 'use DDP', we export two functions
to your namespace:
