NAME

Class::Declare::Dump - provide object dump routine for Class::Declare

SYNOPSIS

Top

This module should not be used directly; it is a helper module for Class::Declare, providing the dump() routine.

DESCRIPTION

Top

Class::Declare::Dump adds a detailed dump() method to Class::Declare, allowing inspection of Class::Declare derived objects. This method is only installed (and indeed, this module only compiled) if dump() is called on a Class::Declare-derived object or package.
