Template::Plugin::Dumper3pm
Plugin interface to data::dumper
Usage
[% USE Dumper %][% Dumper.dump(variable) %][% Dumper.dump_html(variable) %]
Overview
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 following Data::Dumper options are supported as constructor arguments to affect the output generated:
"Indent", "Pad", "Varname", "Purity", "Useqq", "Terse", "Freezer", "Toaster", "Deepcopy", "Quotekeys", "Bless", "Maxdepth", "Sortkeys".
See Data::Dumper for further details on each option.
[% USE dumper(Indent=0, Pad="<br>") %][% USE dumper(Sortkeys=1, Terse=1) %]
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) %]
