perl-Data-Dumper-Concise

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?".
