TODO - seeds germane, yet not germinated
The following functionality will be supported in the next few releases.
- $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth or $OBJ->Maxdepth(NEWVAL)
-
Depth beyond which we don't venture into a structure. Has no effect when
Data::Dumper::Purity is set. (useful in debugger when we often don't want to see more than
enough).
- $Data::Dumper::Expdepth or $OBJ->Expdepth(NEWVAL)
-
Dump contents explicitly up to a certain depth and then use names for
cross-referencing identical references. (useful in debugger, in situations
where we don't care so much for cross-references).
- Make Dumpxs() honor $Useqq
-
- Fix formatting when Terse is set and Indent >= 2
-
- Output space after '\' (ref constructor) for high enough Indent
-
- Implement redesign that allows various backends (Perl, Lisp,
some-binary-data-format, graph-description-languages, etc.)

DISCLAIMER
We are painfully aware that these documents may contain incorrect links and
misformatted HTML. Such bugs lie in the automatic translation process
that automatically created the hundreds and hundreds of separate documents that you find here. Please do
not report link or formatting bugs, because we cannot fix
per-document problems. The only bug reports that will help us are those
that supply working patches to the installhtml or pod2html
programs, or to the Pod::HTML module itself, for which I and the entire
Perl community will shower you with thanks and praises.
If rather than formatting bugs, you encounter substantive content errors in these documents, such as mistakes in
the explanations or code, please use the perlbug utility included
with the Perl distribution.
