use YAML; print Dump(...), but that requires actually installing YAML first.

You might try installing Data::Dump::Streamer (along with the DDS alias.)

So, your suggestion to sfink's drawback of having to install a module is to install a module?

No, I misquoted, i meant to emphasize

And I'm still not nearly as used to the YAML format as I am to Data::Dumper format.

My point was that if you are going to install a module for better dumping you might as well install one that is easier to read. Of course honesty demands I point out that DDS requires XS and is quite slow (and doesnt build under one of the early 5.8 series, i think 5.8.0)
