Re: Data::Dumper question

RTFM?

$OBJ->Values([ARRAYREF])

Queries or replaces the internal array of values that will be dumped. When called without arguments, returns the values. Otherwise, returns the object itself.

Update (example code):

print $d->Values([$this])->Dump();
print $d->Values([$that])->Dump();
print $d->Values([$otherthing])->Dump();

I guess I did overlook that. Thanks! For convenience it would be nice, though, if that capability was integrated into the `Dump` method.	[reply] [d/l]

Here's another problem -- when you set the thing to be dumped via `Values()`, the Dumper object retains a reference to the thing to be dumped. It would be a lot nicer if it would just hold on to the dumpee only for the duration of the `Dump` call.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
