Any::Renderer::Data::Dumper - render data structures through Data::Dumper

SYNOPSIS

  use Any::Renderer;

  my %options = ('DumperOptions' => {'Indent' => 1});
  my $format = "Data::Dumper";
  my $r = new Any::Renderer ( $format, \%options );

  my $data_structure = [...]; # arbitrary structure
  my $string = $r->render ( $data_structure );

DESCRIPTION

Any::Renderer::Data::Dumper renders any Perl data structure passed to it into a string representation via Data::Dumper. For example:

  perl -MAny::Renderer -e "print Any::Renderer->new('Data::Dumper')->render({a => 1, b => [2,3]})"

results in:

  $VAR1 = {
            'a' => 1,
            'b' => [
                     2,
                     3
                   ]
          };
