GraphViz::Data::Structure can visualise data structures.

SYNOPSIS

use GraphViz::Data::Structure;

my $gvds = GraphViz:Data::Structure->new($data_structure);
print $gvds->graph()->as_png;

This module makes it easy to visualise data structures, even recursive or circular ones.
It is provided as an alternative to GraphViz::Data::Grapher. Differences:

GraphViz::Data::Structure handles structures of arbitrary depth and complexity, automatically following links using a standard graph traversal algorithm.
GraphViz::Data::Grapher creates graphics of indiividual substructures (arrays, scalars, hashes) which keep the substructure type and data together; GraphViz::Data::Structure does this by shape alone.
GraphViz::Data::Structure encapsulates object info (if any) directly into the node being used to represent the class.
GraphViz::Data::Grapher colors its graphs; GraphViz::Data::Structure doesn't by default.
GraphViz::Data:Structure can parse out globs and CODE references (almost as well as the debugger does).

Requirements:
Perl
