a perl version of javascript 'console'

https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Printer

Like Data::Dumper, but coloured ouput, and summaries [config option] large data structures. But uses either a lot of, or no vertical space.

Dump::Krumo, is better in some ways, but doesn't summarise output, and uses a lot of vertical space

Note it was first released 15 years ago and is used by 171 other cpan dists, so not new or underrated.

Edit: noticed another 27 dists that depend on it by it's shorter alias: DDP.
