NAME

TODO - seeds germane, yet not germinated


DESCRIPTION

The following functionality will be supported in the next few releases.

$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth or $OBJ->Maxdepth(NEWVAL)

Depth beyond which we don't venture into a structure. Has no effect when Data::Dumper::Purity is set. (useful in debugger when we often don't want to see more than enough).

$Data::Dumper::Expdepth or $OBJ->Expdepth(NEWVAL)

Dump contents explicitly up to a certain depth and then use names for cross-referencing identical references. (useful in debugger, in situations where we don't care so much for cross-references).

Make Dumpxs() honor $Useqq
Fix formatting when Terse is set and Indent >= 2
Output space after '\' (ref constructor) for high enough Indent
Implement redesign that allows various backends (Perl, Lisp, some-binary-data-format, graph-description-languages, etc.)

DISCLAIMER

We are painfully aware that these documents may contain incorrect links and misformatted HTML. Such bugs lie in the automatic translation process that automatically created the hundreds and hundreds of separate documents that you find here. Please do not report link or formatting bugs, because we cannot fix per-document problems. The only bug reports that will help us are those that supply working patches to the installhtml or pod2html programs, or to the Pod::HTML module itself, for which I and the entire Perl community will shower you with thanks and praises.

If rather than formatting bugs, you encounter substantive content errors in these documents, such as mistakes in the explanations or code, please use the perlbug utility included with the Perl distribution.
