Well yes, an array of 3 different widget objects of class Gtk2::Window.

Data::Dumper is trying to represent the input as a string, which can be reversed by evaling it again. (quote: "stringified perl data structures, suitable for both printing and eval" )

Since the name of an object constructor is not fixed in Perl("->new" is only a convention) using bless is the most accurate way to do it.

edit

I just checked there is indeed a new constructor for Gtk2::Window :

http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/doc/pod/Gtk2/Window.html#widget_Gtk2_Window_n

So it might be possible to represent the same information with

$VAR1 = [ Gtk2::Window->new(), Gtk2::Window->new(), Gtk2::Window->new() ]

but to be sure me as a human would need to look up the implementation. Data::Dumper as a piece of code can't do this.

PS: Not sure what you meant with DSC, in perldsc this stands for Data Structure Cookbook..

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
