If you perldoc Data::Dumper, you'll see that you can use its procedural
interface, thanks to perl's use of namespaces:
Quoted from perldoc:
use Data::Dumper;
# simple procedural interface
print Dumper($foo, $bar);
As you can see, the module has a procedural interface. I noticed the
author of this thread started the same one in comp.lang.perl.modules,
if anyone's interested.
Also, note that if you want to dump an array or hash with the
Data::Dumper module, you need to pass it as a reference:
my %hash = ('a'=>'foo', 'b'=>'bar', 'c'=>'baz');
print Dumper(\%hash);
