my $pg_dump = Pg::CLI::pg_dump->new( username => 'foo', password => 'bar', host => 'pg.example.com', port => 5433, ); $pg_dump->run( database => 'database', options => [ '-C' ], ); my $sql; $pg_dump->run( database => 'database', options => [ '-C' ], stdout => \$sql, );
This class provides a wrapper for the pg_dump utility.
This class provides the following methods:
The constructor accepts a number of parameters:

password
The password to use when connecting to the database. Optional.
host
The host to use when connecting to the database. Optional.
port
The port to use when connecting to the database. Optional.
require_ssl
If this is true, then the PGSSLMODE environment variable will be set to "require" when connecting to the database.
PGSSLMODE
This method dumps the specified database. Any values passed in options will be passed on to pg_dump.
options
This method also accepts optional stdin, stdout, and stderr parameters. These parameters can be any defined value that could be passed as the relevant parameter to IPC::Run3's run3 subroutine.
