# The devel/p5-Data-Dumper-Concise port

## p5-Data-Dumper-Concise-2.020 – less indentation and newlines plus sub deparsing

## Description

    This module always exports a single function, Dumper, which can be
    called with an array of values to dump those values.

    It exists, fundamentally, as a convenient way to reproduce a set
    of Dumper options that we've found ourselves using across large
    numbers of applications, primarily for debugging output.

    The principle guiding theme is "all the concision you can get while
    still having a useful dump and not doing anything cleverer than
    setting Data::Dumper options" - it's been pointed out to us that
    Data::Dump::Streamer can produce shorter output with less lines of
    code. We know. This is simpler and we've never seen it segfault.
    But for complex/weird structures, it generally rocks. You should
    use it as well, when Concise is underkill. We do.

    Why is deparsing on when the aim is concision? Because you often
    want to know what subroutine refs you have when debugging and because
    if you were planning to eval this back in you probably wanted to
    remove subrefs first and add them back in a custom way anyway. Note
    that this -does- force using the pure perl Dumper rather than the
    XS one, but I've never in my life seen Data::Dumper show up in a
    profile so "who cares?".
