=head1 NAME Data::Peek - A collection of low-level debug functions =head1 Description Modified and extended wrapper functions to make debugging more pleasurable. DDumper () is a wrapper around Data::Dumper with always sorted keys. The output is however reflowed and not parsable anymore (in most cases) as the quotation around the keys is removed. DDump () is a wrapper around perl's core function sv_dump (), which should enable you to use the output instead of the default behavior that only prints to STDERR. DPeek () is a wrapper around internals Perl_sv_peek DDump_IO () is a wrapper around perl's core function do_sv_dump (), which acts like sv_dump (), but to a PerlIO stream. =head1 PREREQUISITES Perl 5.8.0 and up. Some versions of perl on some operating system(s) might not have exported the internals (yet). This module won't build then. If you run a perl that did not export Perl_sv_peek (), DPeek will not be available. If you happen to encounter that problem, most likely on Windows or AIX, C will make the build and test pass (I hope) =head1 INSTALLATION $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make test $ make install Recent changes can be (re)viewed in the public GIT repository at https://github.com/Tux/Data-Peek Feel free to clone your own copy: $ git clone https://github.com/Tux/Data-Peek Data-Peek or get it as a tgz: $ wget --output-document=Data-Peek-git.tgz \ https://github.com/Tux/Data-Peek/archive/master.tar.gz =head1 AUTHOR H.Merijn Brand =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (c) 2008-2022 H.Merijn Brand.
