The references can also be objects. The content of each 889variable is output in a single Perl statement. Handles self-referential 890structures correctly. 891 892The return value can be C<eval>ed to get back an identical copy of the 893original reference structure. (Please do consider the security implications 894of eval'ing code from untrusted sources!) 895 896Any references that are the same as one of those passed in will be named 897C<$VAR>I<n> (where I<n> is a numeric suffix), and other duplicate references 898to substructures within C<$VAR>I<n> will be appropriately labeled using arrow 899notation. You can specify names for individual values to be dumped if you 900use the C<Dump()> method, or you can change the default C<$VAR> prefix to 901something else. See C<$Data::Dumper::Varname> and C<$Data::Dumper::Terse> 902below. 903 904The default output of self-referential structures can be C<eval>ed, but the 905nested references to C<$VAR>I<n> will be undefined, since a recursive 906structure cannot be constructed using one Perl statement. You should set the 907C<Purity> flag to 1 to get additional statements that will correctly fill in 908these references. Moreover, if C<eval>ed when strictures are in effect, 909you need to ensure that any variables it accesses are previously declared. 910 911In the extended usage form, the references to be dumped can be given 912user-specified names. If a name begins with a C<*>, the output will 913describe the dereferenced type of the supplied reference for hashes and 914arrays, and coderefs. Output of names will be avoided where possible if 915the C<Terse> flag is set. 916 917In many cases, methods that are used to set the internal state of the 918object will return the object itself, so method calls can be conveniently 919chained together. 920 921Several styles of output are possible, all controlled by setting 922the C<Indent> flag. See L<Configuration Variables or Methods> below 923for details. 924 925 926=head2 Methods 927 928=over 4 929 930=item I<PACKAGE>->new(I<ARRAYREF [>, I<ARRAYREF]>) 931 932Returns a newly created C<Data::Dumper> object. The first argument is an 933anonymous array of values to be dumped. The optional second argument is an 934anonymous array of names for the values. The names need not have a leading 935C<$> sign, and must be comprised of alphanumeric characters. You can begin 936a name with a C<*> to specify that the dereferenced type must be dumped 937instead of the reference itself, for ARRAY and HASH references. 938 939The prefix specified by C<$Data::Dumper::Varname> will be used with a 940numeric suffix if the name for a value is undefined. 941 942Data::Dumper will catalog all references encountered while dumping the 943values. Cross-references (in the form of names of substructures in perl 944syntax) will be inserted at all possible points, preserving any structural 945interdependencies in the original set of values. Structure traversal is 946depth-first, and proceeds in order from the first supplied value to 947the last. 948 949=item I<$OBJ>->Dump I<or> I<PACKAGE>->Dump(I<ARRAYREF [>, I<ARRAYREF]>) 950 951Returns the stringified form of the values stored in the object (preserving 952the order in which they were supplied to C<new>), subject to the 953configuration options below. In a list context, it returns a list 954of strings corresponding to the supplied values. 955 956The second form, for convenience, simply calls the C<new> method on its 957arguments before dumping the object immediately. 958 959=item I<$OBJ>->Seen(I<[HASHREF]>) 960 961Queries or adds to the internal table of already encountered references. 962You must use C<Reset> to explicitly clear the table if needed. Such 963references are not dumped; instead, their names are inserted wherever they 964are encountered subsequently. This is useful especially for properly 965dumping subroutine references. 966 967Expects an anonymous hash of name => value pairs. Same rules apply for names 968as in C<new>. If no argument is supplied, will return the "seen" list of 969name => value pairs, in a list context. Otherwise, returns the object 970itself. 971 972=item I<$OBJ>->Values(I<[ARRAYREF]>) 973 974Queries or replaces the internal array of values that will be dumped. When 975called without arguments, returns the values as a list. When called with a 976reference to an array of replacement values, returns the object itself. When 977called with any other type of argument, dies. 978 979=item I<$OBJ>->Names(I<[ARRAYREF]>) 980 981Queries or replaces the internal array of user supplied names for the values 982that will be dumped. When called without arguments, returns the names. When 983called with an array of replacement names, returns the object itself. If the 984number of replacement names exceeds the number of values to be named, the 985excess names will not be used. If the number of replacement names falls short 986of the number of values to be named, the list of replacement names will be 987exhausted and remaining values will not be renamed. When 988called with any other type of argument, dies. 989 990=item I<$OBJ>->Reset 991 992Clears the internal table of "seen" references and returns the object 993itself. 994 995=back 996 997=head2 Functions 998 999=over 4 1000 1001=item Dumper(I<LIST>) 1002 1003Returns the stringified form of the values in the list, subject to the 1004configuration options below. The values will be named C<$VAR>I<n> in the 1005output, where I<n> is a numeric suffix. Will return a list of strings 1006in a list context. 1007 1008=back 1009 1010=head2 Configuration Variables or Methods 1011 1012Several configuration variables can be used to control the kind of output 1013generated when using the procedural interface. These variables are usually 1014C<local>ized in a block so that other parts of the code are not affected by 1015the change. 1016 1017These variables determine the default state of the object created by calling 1018the C<new> method, but cannot be used to alter the state of the object 1019thereafter. The equivalent method names should be used instead to query 1020or set the internal state of the object. 1021 1022The method forms return the object itself when called with arguments, 1023so that they can be chained together nicely. 1024 1025=over 4 1026 1027=item * 1028 1029$Data::Dumper::Indent I<or> I<$OBJ>->Indent(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1030 1031Controls the style of indentation. It can be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3. Style 0 1032spews output without any newlines, indentation, or spaces between list 1033items. It is the most compact format possible that can still be called 1034valid perl. Style 1 outputs a readable form with newlines but no fancy 1035indentation (each level in the structure is simply indented by a fixed 1036amount of whitespace). Style 2 (the default) outputs a very readable form 1037which takes into account the length of hash keys (so the hash value lines 1038up). Style 3 is like style 2, but also annotates the elements of arrays 1039with their index (but the comment is on its own line, so array output 1040consumes twice the number of lines). Style 2 is the default. 1041 1042=item * 1043 1044$Data::Dumper::Trailingcomma I<or> I<$OBJ>->Trailingcomma(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1045 1046Controls whether a comma is added after the last element of an array or 1047hash. Even when true, no comma is added between the last element of an array 1048or hash and a closing bracket when they appear on the same line. The default 1049is false. 1050 1051=item * 1052 1053$Data::Dumper::Purity I<or> I<$OBJ>->Purity(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1054 1055Controls the degree to which the output can be C<eval>ed to recreate the 1056supplied reference structures. Setting it to 1 will output additional perl 1057statements that will correctly recreate nested references. The default is 10580. 1059 1060=item * 1061 1062$Data::Dumper::Pad I<or> I<$OBJ>->Pad(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1063 1064Specifies the string that will be prefixed to every line of the output. 1065Empty string by default. 1066 1067=item * 1068 1069$Data::Dumper::Varname I<or> I<$OBJ>->Varname(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1070 1071Contains the prefix to use for tagging variable names in the output. The 1072default is "VAR". 1073 1074=item * 1075 1076$Data::Dumper::Useqq I<or> I<$OBJ>->Useqq(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1077 1078When set, enables the use of double quotes for representing string values. 1079Whitespace other than space will be represented as C<[\n\t\r]>, "unsafe" 1080characters will be backslashed, and unprintable characters will be output as 1081quoted octal integers. The default is 0. 1082 1083=item * 1084 1085$Data::Dumper::Terse I<or> I<$OBJ>->Terse(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1086 1087When set, Data::Dumper will emit single, non-self-referential values as 1088atoms/terms rather than statements. This means that the C<$VAR>I<n> names 1089will be avoided where possible, but be advised that such output may not 1090always be parseable by C<eval>. 1091 1092=item * 1093 1094$Data::Dumper::Freezer I<or> $I<OBJ>->Freezer(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1095 1096Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature. 1097Data::Dumper will invoke that method via the object before attempting to 1098stringify it. This method can alter the contents of the object (if, for 1099instance, it contains data allocated from C), and even rebless it in a 1100different package. The client is responsible for making sure the specified 1101method can be called via the object, and that the object ends up containing 1102only perl data types after the method has been called. Defaults to an empty 1103string. 1104 1105If an object does not support the method specified (determined using 1106UNIVERSAL::can()) then the call will be skipped. If the method dies a 1107warning will be generated. 1108 1109=item * 1110 1111$Data::Dumper::Toaster I<or> $I<OBJ>->Toaster(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1112 1113Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature. 1114Data::Dumper will emit a method call for any objects that are to be dumped 1115using the syntax C<bless(DATA, CLASS)-E<gt>METHOD()>. Note that this means that 1116the method specified will have to perform any modifications required on the 1117object (like creating new state within it, and/or reblessing it in a 1118different package) and then return it. The client is responsible for making 1119sure the method can be called via the object, and that it returns a valid 1120object. Defaults to an empty string. 1121 1122=item * 1123 1124$Data::Dumper::Deepcopy I<or> $I<OBJ>->Deepcopy(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1125 1126Can be set to a boolean value to enable deep copies of structures. 1127Cross-referencing will then only be done when absolutely essential 1128(i.e., to break reference cycles). Default is 0. 1129 1130=item * 1131 1132$Data::Dumper::Quotekeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Quotekeys(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1133 1134Can be set to a boolean value to control whether hash keys are quoted. 1135A defined false value will avoid quoting hash keys when it looks like a simple 1136string. Default is 1, which will always enclose hash keys in quotes. 1137 1138=item * 1139 1140$Data::Dumper::Bless I<or> $I<OBJ>->Bless(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1141 1142Can be set to a string that specifies an alternative to the C<bless> 1143builtin operator used to create objects. A function with the specified 1144name should exist, and should accept the same arguments as the builtin. 1145Default is C<bless>. 1146 1147=item * 1148 1149$Data::Dumper::Pair I<or> $I<OBJ>->Pair(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1150 1151Can be set to a string that specifies the separator between hash keys 1152and values. To dump nested hash, array and scalar values to JavaScript, 1153use: C<$Data::Dumper::Pair = ' : ';>. Implementing C<bless> in JavaScript 1154is left as an exercise for the reader. 1155A function with the specified name exists, and accepts the same arguments 1156as the builtin. 1157 1158Default is: C< =E<gt> >. 1159 1160=item * 1161 1162$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth I<or> $I<OBJ>->Maxdepth(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1163 1164Can be set to a positive integer that specifies the depth beyond which 1165we don't venture into a structure. Has no effect when 1166C<Data::Dumper::Purity> is set. (Useful in debugger when we often don't 1167want to see more than enough). Default is 0, which means there is 1168no maximum depth. 1169 1170=item * 1171 1172$Data::Dumper::Maxrecurse I<or> $I<OBJ>->Maxrecurse(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1173 1174Can be set to a positive integer that specifies the depth beyond which 1175recursion into a structure will throw an exception. This is intended 1176as a security measure to prevent perl running out of stack space when 1177dumping an excessively deep structure. Can be set to 0 to remove the 1178limit. Default is 1000. 1179 1180=item * 1181 1182$Data::Dumper::Useperl I<or> $I<OBJ>->Useperl(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1183 1184Can be set to a boolean value which controls whether the pure Perl 1185implementation of C<Data::Dumper> is used. The C<Data::Dumper> module is 1186a dual implementation, with almost all functionality written in both 1187pure Perl and also in XS ('C'). Since the XS version is much faster, it 1188will always be used if possible. This option lets you override the 1189default behavior, usually for testing purposes only. Default is 0, which 1190means the XS implementation will be used if possible. 1191 1192=item * 1193 1194$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Sortkeys(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1195 1196Can be set to a boolean value to control whether hash keys are dumped in 1197sorted order. A true value will cause the keys of all hashes to be 1198dumped in Perl's default sort order. Can also be set to a subroutine 1199reference which will be called for each hash that is dumped. In this 1200case C<Data::Dumper> will call the subroutine once for each hash, 1201passing it the reference of the hash. The purpose of the subroutine is 1202to return a reference to an array of the keys that will be dumped, in 1203the order that they should be dumped. Using this feature, you can 1204control both the order of the keys, and which keys are actually used. In 1205other words, this subroutine acts as a filter by which you can exclude 1206certain keys from being dumped. Default is 0, which means that hash keys 1207are not sorted. 1208 1209=item * 1210 1211$Data::Dumper::Deparse I<or> $I<OBJ>->Deparse(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1212 1213Can be set to a boolean value to control whether code references are 1214turned into perl source code. If set to a true value, C<B::Deparse> 1215will be used to get the source of the code reference. In older versions, 1216using this option imposed a significant performance penalty when dumping 1217parts of a data structure other than code references, but that is no 1218longer the case. 1219 1220Caution : use this option only if you know that your coderefs will be 1221properly reconstructed by C<B::Deparse>. 1222 1223=item * 1224 1225$Data::Dumper::Sparseseen I<or> $I<OBJ>->Sparseseen(I<[NEWVAL]>) 1226 1227By default, Data::Dumper builds up the "seen" hash of scalars that 1228it has encountered during serialization. This is very expensive. 1229This seen hash is necessary to support and even just detect circular 1230references. It is exposed to the user via the C<Seen()> call both 1231for writing and reading. 1232 1233If you, as a user, do not need explicit access to the "seen" hash, 1234then you can set the C<Sparseseen> option to allow Data::Dumper 1235to eschew building the "seen" hash for scalars that are known not 1236to possess more than one reference. This speeds up serialization 1237considerably if you use the XS implementation. 1238 1239Note: If you turn on C<Sparseseen>, then you must not rely on the 1240content of the seen hash since its contents will be an 1241implementation detail! 1242 1243=back 1244 1245=head2 Exports 1246 1247=over 4 1248 1249=item Dumper 1250 1251=back 1252 1253=head1 EXAMPLES 1254 1255Run these code snippets to get a quick feel for the behavior of this 1256module.

Prepend it with a C<\> to pass its reference instead. This 1429will be remedied in time, now that Perl has subroutine prototypes. 1430For now, you need to use the extended usage form, and prepend the 1431name with a C<*> to output it as a hash or array. 1432 1433C<Data::Dumper> cheats with CODE references. If a code reference is 1434encountered in the structure being processed (and if you haven't set 1435the C<Deparse> flag), an anonymous subroutine that 1436contains the string '"DUMMY"' will be inserted in its place, and a warning 1437will be printed if C<Purity> is set. You can C<eval> the result, but bear 1438in mind that the anonymous sub that gets created is just a placeholder. 1439Even using the C<Deparse> flag will in some cases produce results that 1440behave differently after being passed to C<eval>; see the documentation 1441for L<B::Deparse>. 1442 1443SCALAR objects have the weirdest looking C<bless> workaround. 1444 1445Pure Perl version of C<Data::Dumper> escapes UTF-8 strings correctly 1446only in Perl 5.8.0 and later. 1447 1448=head2 NOTE 1449 1450Starting from Perl 5.8.1 different runs of Perl will have different 1451ordering of hash keys. The change was done for greater security, 1452see L<perlsec/"Algorithmic Complexity Attacks">. This means that 1453different runs of Perl will have different Data::Dumper outputs if 1454the data contains hashes. If you need to have identical Data::Dumper 1455outputs from different runs of Perl, use the environment variable 1456PERL_HASH_SEED, see L<perlrun/PERL_HASH_SEED>. Using this restores 1457the old (platform-specific) ordering: an even prettier solution might 1458be to use the C<Sortkeys> filter of Data::Dumper. 1459 1460=head1 AUTHOR 1461 1462Gurusamy Sarathy gsar@activestate.com 1463 1464Copyright (c) 1996-2019 Gurusamy Sarathy.
