rameters are returned in a hash rather than dumped to standard output. Also, by default only the parameters in the perltidyrc file are returned, but this can be changed (see the next parameter). This parameter provides a convenient method for external programs to read a perltidyrc file. An example program using this feature, <i>perltidyrc_dump.pl</i>, is included in the distribution.</p>

<p>Any combination of the <b>dump_</b> parameters may be used together.</p>
