package Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar; use 5.006; use Exporter (); use Data::Dumper::Concise (); BEGIN { @ISA = qw(Exporter) } @EXPORT = qw(Dwarn DwarnS); sub Dwarn { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper @_; @_ } sub DwarnS ($) { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper $_[0]; $_[0] } =head1 NAME Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar - return Dwarn @return_value =head1 SYNOPSIS use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar; return Dwarn some_call(...) is equivalent to: use Data::Dumper::Concise; my @return = some_call(...); warn Dumper(@return); return @return; but shorter. If you need to force scalar context on the value, use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar; return DwarnS some_call(...) is equivalent to: use Data::Dumper::Concise; my $return = some_call(...); warn Dumper($return); return $return; Another trick that is extremely useful when doing method chaining is the following: my $foo = Bar->new; $foo->bar->baz->Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar::DwarnS->biff; which is the same as: my $foo = Bar->new; (DwarnS $foo->bar->baz)->biff; =head1 DESCRIPTION use Data::Dumper::Concise::Sugar; will import Dwarn and DwarnS into your namespace. Using L, so see its docs for ways to make it do something else. =head2 Dwarn sub Dwarn { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper @_; @_ } =head3 DwarnS sub DwarnS ($) { warn Data::Dumper::Concise::Dumper $_[0]; $_[0] } =head1 SEE ALSO You probably want L, it's the shorter name for this module. =cut 1;
