note tinita <blockquote><i><code>imap <F3> use Data::Dumper; warn Dumper( );^[hhi</code> </i></blockquote> after several years of using Dumper() like this i wrote a much more useful macro (see my [540175|other post]).<br> forgetting Dumper() statements in code and finding the right ones to comment out can be really annoying. by using the Dump() method and variable names (<code>Data::Dumper->Dump([\$test], ['test'])</code>) you can debug much more sophisticated. 540167 540176
