💖 Reply::Plugin::DataDumper 💖

okay bestie, so this one is a perl manual page — section 3pm, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the whole vibe is Reply::Plugin::DataDumper. yes the man page header truncates it all cute like Reply:...aDumper(3pm) but that's just the terminal doing its little thing, the real name is in the NAME section below. periodt. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

Reply::Plugin::DataDumper — format results using Data::Dumper

like. that's the whole job description. she dumps. she's a Data::Dumper girlie. 💅

🎀 VERSION 🎀

version 0.42

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

so here's the moment. you drop this in your .replyrc:

; .replyrc
[DataDumper]

that's it. that's the whole setup. iconic honestly. 👑

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so lowkey this plugin uses Data::Dumper to format results. that's the tea. 🍓

when Reply hands her some results, she doesn't just print them all raw and unbothered — she runs them through Data::Dumper first so they come out all formatted and readable. it's giving "I made it make sense." 💜

💀 ngl there are no OPTIONS, no flags, no exit statuses, no environment variables on this page — just the plugin name, the version, that tiny .replyrc snippet, the one-line description, the author, and the license. I'm not gonna invent extra options for you. that would be lying and we don't do that here. 🙈

okay and finally, the lil sign-off — the footer said this was documented with perl v5.34.0 and dated 2022-06-17, and the page itself answers to Reply:...aDumper(3pm). that's the whole thing, mwah, no cap. 🧚⭐
