NAME

       Chemistry::File::Dumper - Read and write molecules via Data::Dumper

SYNOPSIS

           use Chemistry::File::Dumper;

           my $mol = Chemistry::Mol->read("mol.pl");
           print $mol->print(format => dumper);
           $mol->write("mol.pl", format => "dumper");

DESCRIPTION

       This module hooks the Data::Dumper Perl core module to the Chemistry::File API, allowing
       you to dump and undump Chemistry::Mol objects easily.  This module automatically registers
       the "dumper" format with Chemistry::Mol.

       For purposes of automatic file type guessing, this module assumes that dumped files end in
       ".pl".

       This module is useful mainly for debugging purposes, as it dumps all the information
       available in an object, in a reproducible way (so you can use it to compare molecule
       objects). However, it wouldn't be a good idea to use it to read untrusted files, because
       they may contain arbitrary Perl code.

OPTIONS

       The following options can be used when writing a molecule either as a file or as a string.

       dumper_indent
           Value to give to Data::Dumper::Indent. Default is 1.

       dumper_purity
           Value to give to Data::Dumper::Purity. Default is 1.

       There are no special options for reading.
