dumpsto - Dump a Storable data file


NAME

    dumpsto - Dump a Storable data file


DOWNLOAD

dumpsto


SYNOPSIS

        # Dump a Storable file
    dumpsto data.sto >data.dump
        # Undump a dump into a Storable file
    dumpsto -u data.dump >data.sto
 Options:
   -h     get help
   -v     be verbose
   -u     undump (convert a dump into a sto)


DESCRIPTION

dumpsto reads binary data files created by Perl's Storable module and dumps them in Data::Dumper format. This is useful if you want to peek what's inside a Storable data file.

If you save the output of dumpsto in a file, you can even edit it: dumpsto can also convert Data::Dumper output back into a Storable file if called with the -u option.
