Description
This module hooks the Data::Dumper Perl core module to the Chemistry::File API, allowing you to dump and
undump Chemistry::Mol objects easily. This module automatically registers the "dumper" format with
Chemistry::Mol.
For purposes of automatic file type guessing, this module assumes that dumped files end in ".pl".
This module is useful mainly for debugging purposes, as it dumps all the information available in an
object, in a reproducible way (so you can use it to compare molecule objects). However, it wouldn't be a
good idea to use it to read untrusted files, because they may contain arbitrary Perl code.
