App::PPI::Dumper - Use the PPI to dump the structure of a Perl file

SYNOPSIS

        use App::PPI::Dumper;

        App::PPI::Dumper->run( @ARGV );

DESCRIPTION

Parse a Perl document with PPI and dump the Perl Document Object Model (PDOM). This script is a command-line interface to PPI::Dumper.

Methods

run( OPTIONS, INPUT_FILE )

Parse INPUT_FILE with the given PPI::Dumper options, then print the result to standard output.

-m

Show the memory address of each PDOM element.

-i N

Ident each level of output by N spaces. The default is 2.

-P

Do not show the full package name for each PPI class.

-T

Do not show the original source token that goes with each PPI object.

-W

Do not show whitespace tokens.

-C

Do not show comment tokens.

-l

Show the source code location of each PPI token.

-r

Parse the input in readonly mode. See PPI::Document::new() for the details.

SEE ALSO

Most behaviour, including environment variables and configuration, comes directly from PPI::Dumper. I just made a command-line tool for it.
