NAME

CGI::Lazy::Utility::Debug

DESCRIPTION

CGI::Lazy::Utility::Debug is a bunch of useful CGI debugging functions that I got tired of writing by hand when I needed to figure out what wierdness is happening in a script

SYNOPSIS

        use CGI::Lazy;

        my $q = CGI::Lazy->new('/path/to/config/file');

        my $t = $q->utility->debug;

        $t->param();                            #dumps html formatted CGI parameters to browser.

        $t->env();                              #dumps html formatted %ENV to browser.

        $t->dump($ref, "some string");          #dumps html formatted output from Data::Dumper (if ref) or string (if scalar) to browser. 

        $t->cookie();                           #dumps info regarding cookies to browser.

        $t->edump($ref, "some string");         #dumps to external file, appending at each subsequent call.

        $t->edumpreplace($ref);                 #dumps to external file, overwriting at each call
