Data::Dumper is certainly the single most useful Perl module.

The same module won't be required in OO languages, as long as something like tostring is defined at base object level, as many languages do.

On the other hand, Perl does not require tostring, as all perl objects are hashes (or some other simple data structure). In the end, all Perl has is array and hash table. To that end, I like it. Let me say on the other hand one more time... on the other hand, to access a deep nested hash table or array can be very boring.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
