p5-Data-Dumper-Simple

Easily dump variables with names

This module allow the user to dump variables in a Data::Dumper format. Unlike the default behavior of Data::Dumper, the variables are named (instead of $VAR1, $VAR2, etc.) Data::Dumper provides an extended interface that allows the programmer to name the variables, but this interface requires a lot of typing and is prone to tyops (sic). This module fixes that. Data::Dumper::Simple is actually a source filter that replaces all instances of Dumper($some, @args) in your code with a call to Data::Dumper->Dump(). You can use the one function provided to make dumping variables for debugging a trivial task. Note that this is primarily a debugging tool. Data::Dumper offers a bit more than that, so don't expect this module to be more than it is.
