NAME

XXX - See Your Data in the Nude

SYNOPSIS

    use XXX;
    XXX my $dog = Dog->new({has => ['fleas', 'style']});
    my $dog = XXX Dog->new({has => ['fleas', 'style']});
    my $dog = Dog->new(XXX {has => ['fleas', 'style']});
    my $dog = Dog->new({XXX has => ['fleas', 'style']});
    my $dog = Dog->new({has => XXX ['fleas', 'style']});
    my $dog = Dog->new({has => [XXX 'fleas', 'style']});

DESCRIPTION

XXX.pm exports a function called XXX that you can put just about anywhere in your Perl code to make it die with a YAML dump of the arguments to its right.

The charm of XXX-debugging is that it is easy to type and rarely requires parens and stands out visually so that you remember to remove it.

XXX.pm also exports WWW, YYY and ZZZ which do similar debugging things.

To use Data::Dumper instead of YAML:

    use XXX -dumper;

FUNCTIONS

WWW

WWW will warn a dump of its arguments, and then return the original arguments. This means you can stick it in the middle of expressions.

mnemonic: W for warn

XXX

XXX will die with a dump of its arguments.

mnemonic: XXX == Death, Nudity

YYY

YYY will print a dump of its arguments, and then return the original arguments. This means you can stick it in the middle of expressions.

mnemonic: YYY == Why Why Why??? or YAML YAML YAML

ZZZ

ZZZ will Carp::confess a dump of its arguments.

mnemonic: You should confess all your sins before you sleep. zzzzzzzz

NOTE FOR INSTALLING XXX

At this time CPAN indexes XXX.pm to some other module distribution that doesn't even have an XXX.pm module. Oh the wonders of CPAN. To install this module, ask for YYY.pm instead. Something like this should work:

    sudo cpan YYY

This will install XXX.pm and YYY.pm (which is an exact copy of XXX.pm). You can use either one. :)
