VCP::Dest::perl_data3pm

Emit metadata to a log file

Usage

    vcp ... perl_data:         # to vcp.log
    vcp ... perl_data:-:       # to STDOUT
    vcp ... perl_data:foo.log: # to foo.log

Overview

Dump all data structures to a log file or STDOUT.

This is intended to be used when reproducing bugs to capture a metadata stream that can be copy-pasted-tweaked in to a t/99*.t test program.

Not a supported module, API and behavior may change without warning.

See source code and test suites for how to capture data structures in scalars, arrays and hashes.
