Get Data::Dumper module on CPAN. This is extermely useful module. The
essence of its functionality is that it allows you to save data
(nested hashes or lists ...) on disk, and you can read it back
later. If you work with heavily nested lists or hashes, this package
is a must for debugging. (so that you can "see" your data.)

If you have problems "installing" the module for Mac, check  a
message I posted sometimes in Sep or Oct, where I gave a simple
instruction on "installing" it for MacPerl. Also, check Chris Nador's
webpage. I think he's got the MacPerl customized version
 and probably includes installing instructions in readme file too.
