Data::Dumper isn't just a debug tool, though -- more broadly, it's a way of serializing Perl data structures. Not the only way, of course -- we've already got YAML and JSON modules as dependencies that can serve the same purpose, but since Data::Dumper is also a core module, I don't think making a point of eliminating its use would gain us much. Of course, it doesn't hurt to continually evaluate usage of Koha's many Perl modules.
