Subject: Dump Perl ?
Hiya,
Got a function that parses data structures. For debugging and stuff.
How do I find/print the "name" of the data structure?
parseStuff($array_ref, $hash_ref1, $hashref2);
sub parseStuff {
use Data::Dumper;
foreach my $structure(@_) {
print "you're looking at a data structure named [?]\n";
print "and it looks like: " . Dumper($structure) . "\n";
}
}
And then I want it to tell me "array_ref" and spew its contents, then
"hash__ref1", etc., for an arbitrary number of arbitrarily named data
structures.
TIA,
-Ben
