Here's some advice for newbies who want to use Data::Dumper.

1. download it from CPAN.
2. Decompress it.
3. Create a folder 'Data' at a desired place. For example, 'veryHardDrive:xxxFolder:Data:'.
4. Place the file "Dumper.pm.NOXSUB" in the folder so created, and 
rename it to "Dumper.pm". So we have, "veryHardDrive:xxxFolder:Data:Dumper.pm"
4. Now the module is ready to use. To use it, say
"use lib qw(veryHardDrive:xxxFolder:Data:); # this adds the search path.
use Data::Dumper;
"
5. of course, read documentations.

I realized that I need to use Dumper.pm.NOXSUB instead
Dumper.pm. Thanks to Paul and Chris' answers and hints. For those who wish to
use compiled (faster) version of Data::Dumper, you can download it
from Chris's homepage and follow instructions from there.

This message is not in perldiag. Perhaps it should?...
