BFD Description

Impromptu dumping of data structures for debugging purposes BFD is a Perl module that allows for impromptu dumping of output to STDERR. Useful when you want to take a peek at a nest Perl data structure by emitting (relatively) nicely formatted output with filename and line number prefixed to each line.Basically, use BFD;d $foo;is shorthand for use Data::Dumper; local $Data::Dumper::Indent = 1; local $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys = 0; local $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1; local $Data::Dumper::Sortkeys = 1; my $msg = Dumper( $foo ); $msg =~ s/^/$where: /mg; warn $msg;I use this incantation soooo often that a TLA version is warranted. YMMV.SYNOPSIS my $scary_structure1 = foo(); my $scary_structure2 = bar(); use BFD; d $scary_structure1, " hmmm ", $scary_structure2, ...; .... Requirements: · Perl Limitations: · Uses Data::Dumper, which has varying degrees of stability and usefulness on different versions of Perl.
