Data::...::HTML(3pm)

💖 Data::Format::HTML 💖

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for Data::Format::HTML — it's a Perl module that lives under the Data::...::HTML(3pm) name in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of your system. she formats Perl data structures into cute lil' simple HTML. that's the whole vibe. periodt. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

Data::Format::HTML — Format Perl data structures into simple HTML. that's it, that's the girl. 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's how you and her get acquainted:

use Data::Format::HTML;

my $f = Data::Format::HTML->new;

my %hash = (simple => 'hash');

# Of course it's very unlikely that you won't deal ever with this
# kind of structure, but HTML is able to hand it all anyway :)
my $struct = {
       foo                             => 'bar',
       1                                       => 2,
       \'hello'                        => 'goodbye',
       array_ref                       => [qw/one two three/],
       nested_hash                     => \%hash,
       [qw/1 2/]                       => sub { die; },
       even_more                       => { arr => {
                       1 => [2, 3, 4],
                       this_is_insane => { a => { b => { c => { d => { e => 'z'}}}}}
               },
       },
};

$struct->{'Data::Format::HTML handles it all'} = $f;

print $f->format( $struct );

and that will output the following insane, but possible, for the sake of showing, HTML:

bestie ngl the actual HTML isn't pasted into this manpage 😭 the page just says it will output it and then moves on. it's giving cliffhanger energy fr fr. 🙈

the tea though, and this is the important part: in theory you can pass any kind of Perl data structure to format and you will get its data HTML-formatted. any structure. all of it. she's built different. 👑
