=head1 NAME

Data::Show - Dump data structures with name and point-of-origin


=head1 VERSION

This document describes Data::Show version 0.002004


=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Data::Show;

    show %foo;
    show @bar;
    show (
        @bar,
        $baz,
    );
    show $baz;
    show $ref;
    show @bar[do{1..2;}];
    show 2*3;
    show 'a+b';
    show 100 * sqrt length $baz;
    show $foo{q[;{{{]};


=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides a simple wrapper around the Data::Dump module.

A call to C<show> data-dumps its arguments, prefaced
by a divider line that reports the arguments and the
file and line from which C<show()> was called.

For example, the code in the L<SYNOPSIS> would produce
something like:

    ======(  %foo  )========================[ 'demo.pl', line 11 ]======

        { foo => 1, food => 'b', foon => [3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10] }


    ======(  @bar  )========================[ 'demo.pl', line 12 ]======

        ["b", "a", "r"]


    ======(  @bar, $baz,  )=================[ 'demo.pl', line 13 ]======

        ("b", "a", "r", "baz")


    ======(  $baz  )========================[ 'demo.pl', line 17 ]======

        "baz"


    ======(  $ref  )========================[ 'demo.pl', line 18 ]======

        ["b", "a", "r"]


    ======(  @bar[do{1..2;}]  )=============[ 'demo.pl', line 19 ]======

        ("a", "r")


    ======(  2*3  )=========================[ 'demo.pl', line 20 ]======

        6


    ======(  'a+b'  )=======================[ 'demo.pl', line 21 ]======

        "a+b"


    ======(  100 * sqrt length $baz  )======[ 'demo.pl', line 22 ]======

        "173.205080756888"


    ======(  $foo{q[;{{{]}  )===============[ 'demo.pl', line 23 ]======

        undef


    ======(  'foo' ~~ m/;{\/{/  )===========[ 'demo.pl', line 25 ]======

        ""


=head1 INTERFACE

=over

=item C<show()>

This is the only subroutine provided by the module.
It is always exported.

C<show()> can be called with any number of arguments and data-dumps them
all with a suitable header indicating the arguments' names, and the file
and line from which C<show()> was called.

C<show()> does not return a useful value.

=back


=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

None, apart from those provided by Data::Dump;


=head1 CONFIGURATION AND ENVIRONMENT

Data::Show requires no configuration files or environment variables.


=head1 DEPENDENCIES

Only works under Perl 5.10 and later.

Requires the Data::Dump module.


=head1 INCOMPATIBILITIES

None reported.


=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

Uses sophisticated regexes to parse out the argument list from the
source. Hence subject to the usual limitations of this technique
(namely, that it may get the argument list wrong occasionally).

No bugs have been reported.

Please report any bugs or feature requests to
C<bug-data-show@rt.cpan.org>, or through the web interface at
L<http://rt.cpan.org>.
