I don't know, the first sentence in the Data::Dumper page seems pretty clear to me: Data::Dumper - stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and eval Stringified may not be a real word, but it means "turned into a string" (which according to the Oxford Dictionary, is "a linear sequence of characters, words, or other data"). Perl Data Structure is pretty straightforward - it's a structured hunk of data in perl. Suitable for printing means you can print it. Suitable for eval means you can copy and paste it as valid perl code. Try a few things:
--chargrill
