NAME

       Dist::Zilla::Role::HashDumper - Dump selected hash keys as a string

VERSION

       This document describes version 4.13 of Dist::Zilla::Role::HashDumper, released December
       17, 2017 as part of Dist-Zilla-Plugins-CJM version 6.000.

DESCRIPTION

       Plugins implementing HashDumper may call their own "extract_keys" method to extract
       selected keys from a hash and return a string suitable for injecting into Perl code.  They
       may also call the "hash_as_string" method to do the same for an entire hash.

METHODS

   extract_keys
         my $string = $plugin->extract_keys($name, \%hash, @keys);
         eval "%new_hash = ($string);";

       This combines "extract_keys_as_hash" and "hash_as_string".  It constructs a string of
       properly quoted keys and values from selected keys in a hash.  (Note that "\%hash" is a
       reference, but @keys is not.)  The $name is used only in a log_debug message.

       If any key has no value (or its value is an empty hash or array ref) it will be omitted
       from the list.  If all keys are omitted, the empty string is returned.  Otherwise, the
       result always ends with a comma.

   extract_keys_as_hash
         my $hashref = $plugin->extract_keys_as_hash($name, \%hash, @keys);

       This constructs a hashref from from selected keys in a hash.  (Note that "\%hash" is a
       reference, but @keys is not.)  The $name is used only in a log_debug message.

       If any key has no value (or its value is an empty hash or array ref) it will be omitted
       from the new hashref.  If all keys are omitted, an empty hashref is returned.

   hash_as_string
         my $string = $plugin->hash_as_string(\%hash);
         eval "%new_hash = ($string);";

       This constructs a string of properly quoted keys and values from a hash.  If the hash is
       empty, the empty string will be returned.  Otherwise, the result always ends with a comma.
