in reply to Does Data::Dumper give you eye strain? Use Test::More::is_deeply() for debugging!

I'll keep it short today. Do you use Data::Dumper for debugging your data structures?

Yes, indeed I do

Does it give you eye strain?

Well, just try to imagine this...I use Data::Dumper to check on all the data my irc bot has on all the people it shares channels with...and have it dump that data on me *inside* one of those irc channels. I leave it up to you to imagine what kind of mayhem that causes when I mess something up and it does it in the wrong channel ;-)


Remember rule one...
