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) %]
