<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] Dumper.dump(variable) [% tt_end_tag %]

[% WRAPPER section
    title="DESCRIPTION"
-%]<p>
This is a very simple Template Toolkit Plugin Interface to the Data::Dumper
module.  A Dumper object will be instantiated via the following directive:
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE Dumper [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
<p>
As a standard plugin, you can also specify its name in lower case:
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE dumper [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
<p>
The Data::Dumper 'Pad', 'Indent' and 'Varname' options are supported
as constructor arguments to affect the output generated.  See [% ttlink('Data::Dumper') -%]
for further details.
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE dumper(Indent=0, Pad=&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
<p>
These options can also be specified in lower case.
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE dumper(indent=0, pad=&quot;&lt;br&gt;&quot;) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER section
    title="METHODS"
-%]<p>
There are two methods supported by the Dumper object.  Each will
output into the template the contents of the variables passed to the
object method.
</p>
[% WRAPPER subsection
   title = "dump()"
-%]<p>
Generates a raw text dump of the data structure(s) passed
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE Dumper [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] Dumper.dump(myvar) [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] Dumper.dump(myvar, yourvar) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
[%- END %]
[% WRAPPER subsection
   title = "dump_html()"
-%]<p>
Generates a dump of the data structures, as per dump(), but with the 
characters &lt;, &gt; and &amp; converted to their equivalent HTML
entities and newlines converted to &lt;br&gt;.
</p>
<pre>    [% tt_start_tag %] USE Dumper [% tt_end_tag %]
    [% tt_start_tag %] Dumper.dump_html(myvar) [% tt_end_tag %]</pre>
