Bug #102937 for Data-Printer: Needs option to show variable name

Subject:	Needs option to show variable name

One of the nice things about Data::Dumper::Simple was its ability to show the variable name. Data::Printer lacks in this regard, but is vastly superior in all other aspects. How about a flag in settings to turn on variable name reporting? If there is a way to do this with filters, it's not documented, and should be added to the docs (if that is the case).

That's a very interesting request! I'll take a look at how Data::Dumper::Simple does it. I'm going to close this issue here on RT so we can follow up on it on https://github.com/garu/Data-Printer/issues/125 Thanks again for submitting the issue and thank you for using Data::Printer! Cheers, garu
