SPUG: Data::Denter

[David Vergin]

Brian-

Data::Denter looks promising. If only we knew someone who could see that this
gets into the PPM library sometime soon...  ;-)

> INTRODUCTION:
>
> Data::Denter is yet another Perl data serializer/deserializer. It
> formats nested data structures in an indented fashion. It is optimized
> for human readability/editability, safe deserialization, and
> (eventually) speed.
>
> NOTE: It may be optimized for Python programmers too, but please don't
> hold that against me ;)
>
> It exports 2 functions: C<Indent()> and C<Undent()> for serialization
> and deserialization respectively. It handles all of the commonly
> serializable Perl data types, including: scalars, hash refs, array refs,
> scalar refs, ref refs, undef, and blessed references. It can even
> properly handle circular and duplicate references.
>
> SAMPLE:
>
>     use Data::Denter;
>     print Indent bless {foo => 42,
>                         bar => [ 'happy', undef, [], 'sad' ],
>                         baz => "Bozo the Clown",
>                        }, "Small::Example";
>
> yields:
>
>     %Small::Example
>         baz => Bozo the Clown
>         bar => @
>             happy
>             ?
>             @
>             sad
>         foo => 42
