Please can someone give me some advice about Data::Dumper. I have a program
which will generate a large multidimensional array which I then want to
import into another program. From what I remember from some posts a while
ago (and can't find again now) I should be able to do this using
Data::Dumper, and the Camel book and perldoc seem to agree. It's just I
can't work out how to read the data back in. I've tried eval and do, and
neither of them are working as I hoped. Here's some test code I've tried:
use Data::Dumper;
@array = qw(one two three);
$string = Dumper(@array);
@newarray = eval $string;
print "@newarray";
This outputs:
$VAR1 = 'one';
$VAR2 = 'two';
$VAR3 = 'three';
three
I can print the Dumper output to a file and read it back in with do or eval
and get the same problem, just getting the last value put into the array.
Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Thanks
Mark C
