How to reassign DB::OUT?

[J Krugman]

I have a huge data structure in the perl debugger, which I can view
with the x command. I would like to save the output of the x
command to a file. I thought that one way to do this would be to
reassign DB::OUT, but all my effort to do this have failed. How
can I reassign DB::OUT so that commands like 'x $foo' print to a
file?

Thanks,

jill

The simplest hack is to reset $ENV{PAGER} and do `|x $foo'... But
personally, I would just call Dumpvar.pm manually...

Hope this helps,

I settled for a similar hack (O pager='> myfile', etc.).

Yes, that's an alternative, but dumpvar.pm is not documented, and
I have a hard time figuring out what the code does. What sub(s)
from dumpvar.pm would you call to get the same output as you'd get
from

|x $mongo_data_structure

Oups, it should have been Dumpvalue.pm.

That's great! I much prefer the formatting of Dumpvalue.pm over
the one produced by Data:umper.

Thanks!
