Dumper SHC> is already there. but few people use templates like that (emacs supports it as do other editors). my point is that dumper is overkill for simple dumps of values. you don't use it to print scalars? arrays aren't much more and map works well. and as i said, you can control the output much better with map than dumper. this is not against dumper which i use all the time, just to point out to others that using it for simple prints is not always needed. uri -- Uri Guttman ------ u...@stemsystems.com -------- http://www.sysarch.com -- ----- Perl Code Review , Architecture, Development, Training, Support ------ --------- Gourmet Hot Cocoa Mix ---- http://bestfriendscocoa.com --------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
