Template::Plugin::Dumper(3pm)
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) %]
