Data::Dumper模块

Data::Dumper模块主要用途是：给出一个或多个变量，包括引用，以PERL语法的方式返回这个变量的内容。

比方说，这里有个很复杂的hash，数据结构很复杂，我想看看这个hash里面的内容。除了常见的方式（直接用print或者编历keys然后打印）， 我们也可以使用Data::Daumper->Dump([\%hash])的形式。同时，模块中定义了很多的配置参数，让用户可以调整打印格式。

 

简单列举几个（具体参见perldoc），这些变量在模块

$Data::Dumper::Indent

这个设置打印的缩进格式，可以设置成0,1,2和3。用户可以自己尝试下。

$Data::Dumper::Terse

如果设置这个变量，则不打印变量的名字，只打印变量的内容。

$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth

不超过这个变量的限制深度，才打印变量的内容。

 

下面写个程序说明问题：

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; my %people = (     'name' => 'ray',     'age' => 24,     'sex' => 'man',     'food' => ['egg', 'apple'], ); # See Data::Dumper module to get the default vaule of the # following module gobal variable. You can overwrite the # default value to user defined one. print "Show perl hash, with pre-defined variable name\n "; print "and without maxdepth\n"; $Data::Dumper::Terse = 0; # default is 0 $Data::Dumper::Indent = 3; # default is 2 $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 0; # default is 0 my $variable_name = '*' . "my_info"; print Data::Dumper->Dump([\%people], [$variable_name]); print "Show perl hash, without pre-defined variable name\n "; print "and with maxdepth is 1\n"; $Data::Dumper::Terse = 1; # default is 0 $Data::Dumper::Indent = 2; # default is 2 $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth = 1; # default is 0 $variable_name = '$' . "my_info"; print Data::Dumper->Dump([\%people], [$variable_name])   ray@localhost perl]$ perl data_dumper.pl Show perl hash, with pre-defined variable name  and without maxdepth %my_info = (              'food' => [                          #0                          'egg',                          #1                          'apple'                        ],              'name' => 'ray',              'sex' => 'man',              'age' => 24            ); Show perl hash, without pre-defined variable name  and with maxdepth is 1 {              'food' => 'ARRAY(0x91d68c4)',              'name' => 'ray',              'sex' => 'man',              'age' => 24            }
