It sounds like you are re-inventing the custom dump handlers in either Data::Dump::Filtered or Data::Dump::Streamer. If those work out for you, maybe you save yourself the hassle of a new module. If they don't, your new module should probably be in the same Data::Dump namespace. :) -- brian d foy (one of many PAUSE admins), http://pause.perl.org PAUSE instructions: http://pause.perl.org/pause/query?ACTION=pause_04about Archives: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules Please send all messages back to modules@perl.org with no CC to me.
