-=item $Data::Dumper::Indent I<or> I<$OBJ>->Indent(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Indent I<or> I<$OBJ>->Indent(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Controls the style of indentation. It can be set to 0, 1, 2 or 3. Style 0
spews output without any newlines, indentation, or spaces between list
with their index (but the comment is on its own line, so array output
consumes twice the number of lines). Style 2 is the default.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Purity I<or> I<$OBJ>->Purity(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Purity I<or> I<$OBJ>->Purity(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Controls the degree to which the output can be C<eval>ed to recreate the
supplied reference structures. Setting it to 1 will output additional perl
statements that will correctly recreate nested references. The default is
0.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Pad I<or> I<$OBJ>->Pad(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Pad I<or> I<$OBJ>->Pad(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Specifies the string that will be prefixed to every line of the output.
Empty string by default.

+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Varname I<or> I<$OBJ>->Varname(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Contains the prefix to use for tagging variable names in the output. The

+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Useqq I<or> I<$OBJ>->Useqq(I<[NEWVAL]>)
When set, enables the use of double quotes for representing string values.
Whitespace other than space will be represented as C<[\n\t\r]>, "unsafe"
penalty, the default is 0. C<Dump()> will run slower if this flag is set,
since the fast XSUB implementation doesn't support it yet.

+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Terse I<or> I<$OBJ>->Terse(I<[NEWVAL]>)
When set, Data::Dumper will emit single, non-self-referential values as
atoms/terms rather than statements. This means that the C<$VAR>I<n> names
will be avoided where possible, but be advised that such output may not
always be parseable by C<eval>.

+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Freezer I<or> $I<OBJ>->Freezer(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature.
Data::Dumper will invoke that method via the object before attempting to
only perl data types after the method has been called. Defaults to an empty
string.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Toaster I<or> $I<OBJ>->Toaster(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+If an object does not support the method specified (determined using
+UNIVERSAL::can()) then the call will be skipped. If the method dies a

+
+$Data::Dumper::Toaster I<or> $I<OBJ>->Toaster(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a method name, or to an empty string to disable the feature.
Data::Dumper will emit a method call for any objects that are to be dumped
-using the syntax C<bless(DATA, CLASS)->METHOD()>. Note that this means that
+using the syntax C<bless(DATA, CLASS)-E<gt>METHOD()>. Note that this means that
the method specified will have to perform any modifications required on the
object (like creating new state within it, and/or reblessing it in a
different package) and then return it. The client is responsible for making
sure the method can be called via the object, and that it returns a valid
object. Defaults to an empty string.

+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Deepcopy I<or> $I<OBJ>->Deepcopy(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a boolean value to enable deep copies of structures.
Cross-referencing will then only be done when absolutely essential
(i.e., to break reference cycles). Default is 0.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Quotekeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Quotekeys(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Quotekeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Quotekeys(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a boolean value to control whether hash keys are quoted.
A false value will avoid quoting hash keys when it looks like a simple
string. Default is 1, which will always enclose hash keys in quotes.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Bless I<or> $I<OBJ>->Bless(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Bless I<or> $I<OBJ>->Bless(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a string that specifies an alternative to the C<bless>
builtin operator used to create objects. A function with the specified
name should exist, and should accept the same arguments as the builtin.
Default is C<bless>.
-=item $Data::Dumper::Maxdepth I<or> $I<OBJ>->Maxdepth(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Pair I<or> $I<OBJ>->Pair(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+
+Can be set to a string that specifies the separator between hash keys
+and values. To dump nested hash, array and scalar values to JavaScript,
+use: C<$Data::Dumper::Pair = ' : ';>. Implementing C<bless> in JavaScript
+is left as an exercise for the reader.
+A function with the specified name exists, and accepts the same arguments
+as the builtin.
+
+Default is: C< =E<gt> >.
+
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Maxdepth I<or> $I<OBJ>->Maxdepth(I<[NEWVAL]>)
Can be set to a positive integer that specifies the depth beyond which
which we don't venture into a structure. Has no effect when
want to see more than enough). Default is 0, which means there is
no maximum depth.
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Useperl I<or> $I<OBJ>->Useperl(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+
+Can be set to a boolean value which controls whether the pure Perl
+implementation of C<Data::Dumper> is used. The C<Data::Dumper> module is
+a dual implementation, with almost all functionality written in both
+pure Perl and also in XS ('C'). Since the XS version is much faster, it
+will always be used if possible. This option lets you override the
+default behavior, usually for testing purposes only. Default is 0, which
+means the XS implementation will be used if possible.
+
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys I<or> $I<OBJ>->Sortkeys(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+
+Can be set to a boolean value to control whether hash keys are dumped in
+sorted order. A true value will cause the keys of all hashes to be
+dumped in Perl's default sort order. Can also be set to a subroutine
+reference which will be called for each hash that is dumped. In this
+case C<Data::Dumper> will call the subroutine once for each hash,
+passing it the reference of the hash. The purpose of the subroutine is
+to return a reference to an array of the keys that will be dumped, in
+the order that they should be dumped. Using this feature, you can
+control both the order of the keys, and which keys are actually used. In
+other words, this subroutine acts as a filter by which you can exclude
+certain keys from being dumped. Default is 0, which means that hash keys
+are not sorted.
+
+=item *
+
+$Data::Dumper::Deparse I<or> $I<OBJ>->Deparse(I<[NEWVAL]>)
+
+Can be set to a boolean value to control whether code references are
+turned into perl source code. If set to a true value, C<B::Deparse>
+will be used to get the source of the code reference. Using this option
+will force using the Perl implementation of the dumper, since the fast
+XSUB implementation doesn't support it.
+
+Caution : use this option only if you know that your coderefs will be
+properly reconstructed by C<B::Deparse>.

+=head2 NOTE
+
+Starting from Perl 5.8.1 different runs of Perl will have different
+ordering of hash keys. The change was done for greater security,
+see L<perlsec/"Algorithmic Complexity Attacks">. This means that
+different runs of Perl will have different Data::Dumper outputs if
+the data contains hashes. If you need to have identical Data::Dumper
+outputs from different runs of Perl, use the environment variable
+PERL_HASH_SEED, see L<perlrun/PERL_HASH_SEED>. Using this restores
