## NAME
    [Specio::PartialDump](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Specio%3A%3APartialDump/markdown) - A partially rear-ended copy of [Devel::PartialDump](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Devel%3A%3APartialDump/markdown) without prereqs

## VERSION
    version 0.47

## SYNOPSIS
      use [Specio::PartialDump](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Specio%3A%3APartialDump/markdown) qw( partial_dump );

      partial_dump( { foo => 42 } );
      partial_dump(qw( a b c d e f g ));
      partial_dump( foo => 42, bar => [ 1, 2, 3 ], );

## DESCRIPTION
    This is a copy of [Devel::PartialDump](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Devel%3A%3APartialDump/markdown) with all the OO bits and prereqs removed. You may want to
    use this module in your own code to generate nicely formatted messages when a type constraint
    fails.

    This module optionally exports one sub, "partial_dump". This sub accepts any number of
    arguments. If given more than one, it will assume that it's either been given a list of
    key/value pairs (to build a hash) or a list of values (to build an array) and dump them
    appropriately. Objects and references are stringified in a sane way.

## SUPPORT
