Converts a data structure into a sequence of perl statements sufficient for
recreating the original via eval. This module is very similar in concept to
Data::Dumper and Data::Dump, with the major differences being that this module
is designed to output to a stream instead of constructing its output in memory,
and that the traversal over the data structure is effectively breadth first
versus the depth first traversal done by the others.
Given a list of scalars or reference variables, writes out their contents in
perl syntax. The references can also be objects. The contents of each variable
is output in a single Perl statement. Handles self-referential structures
correctly.
In fact the data structure is scanned twice, first in breadth first mode to
perform structural analysis, and then in depth first mode to actually produce
the output, but obeying the depth relationships of the first pass.
The return value can be evaled to get back an identical copy of the original
reference structure.
