$ref to text - similar to Data::Dumper
recurse2txt generates a unique signature for a particular hash
Data::Dumper actually does much more than this, however, it does not stringify hash's in a consistent manner. i.e. no SORT
The routines below, while not covering recursion loops, non ascii characters, etc.... does produce text that can be eval'd and is consistent with each rendering.
hexDumper($ref);
same as: scalar hexDumperA(ref);
hexDumperA($ref);
Returns the text of the data items converted to hex.
input: reference return: array context text_for_reference_contents, count_of_data_items scalar context count text_for_reference_contents
Dumper($ref);
same as: scalar DumperA($ref);
DumperA($ref);
input: reference return: array context text_for_reference_contents, count_of_data_items scalar context count text_for_reference_contents
