NAME

Template::Plugin::Dumper - Plugin interface to Data::Dumper

SYNOPSIS

     [% USE Dumper %]
     
     [% Dumper.dump(variable) %]
     [% Dumper.dump_html(variable) %]
 
 

DESCRIPTION

This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the Data::Dumper module. A "Dumper" object will be instantiated via the following directive:
     [% USE Dumper %]
 
 

As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case:

     [% USE dumper %]
 
 

The "Data::Dumper" "Pad", "Indent" and "Varname" options are supported as constructor arguments to affect the output generated. See Data::Dumper for further details.

     [% USE dumper(Indent=0, Pad="<br>") %]
 
 

These options can also be specified in lower case.

     [% USE dumper(indent=0, pad="<br>") %]
 
 

METHODS

There are two methods supported by the "Dumper" object. Each will output into the template the contents of the variables passed to the object method.

dump()

Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed
     [% USE Dumper %]
     [% Dumper.dump(myvar) %]
     [% Dumper.dump(myvar, yourvar) %]
 
 

dump_html()

Generates a dump of the data structures, as per dump(), but with the characters <, > and & converted to their equivalent HTML entities and newlines converted to <br>.
     [% USE Dumper %]
     [% Dumper.dump_html(myvar) %]
