Package perl-Devel-MAT-Dumper: Information

This module provides the memory-dumping function that creates a heap dump file
which can later be read by the Devel::MAT::Dumpfile manpage. It provides a single
function which is not exported, which writes a file to the given path.

The dump file will contain a representation of every SV in Perl's arena,
providing information about pointers between them, as well as other
information about the state of the process at the time it was created. It
contains a snapshot of the process at that moment in time, which can later be
loaded and analysed by various tools using `Devel::MAT::Dumpfile'.

This module used to be part of the main the Devel::MAT manpage distribution but is now
in its own one so that it can be installed independently on servers or other
locations where perl processes need to inspected but analysis tools can be run
elsewhere.
