XXX - See Your Data in the Nude
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']});
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, 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.
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.
NOTE: If you use WWW with Test::More, it will <diag()> rather than warn().
warn()
mnemonic: W for warn
XXX will die with a dump of its arguments.
mnemonic: XXX == Death, Nudity
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.
NOTE: If you use YYY with Test::More, it will <note()> rather than print().
print()
mnemonic: YYY == Why Why Why??? or YAML YAML YAML
ZZZ will Carp::confess a dump of its arguments.
mnemonic: You should confess all your sins before you sleep. zzzzzzzz
By default, XXX uses YAML.pm to dump your data. You can change this like so:
use XXX -with => 'Data::Dumper'; use XXX -with => 'YAML::XS'; use XXX -with => 'YAML::SomeOtherYamlModule';
You can also use these forms, but they are now deprecated:
use XXX -dumper; use XXX -yaml;
