  Description : stringified perl data structures, suitable for both 
printing and eval

 Given a list of scalars or reference variables, writes out their contents in
 perl syntax. The references can also be objects.  The contents of each
 variable is output in a single Perl statement.  Handles self-referential
 structures correctly.
 .
 The return value can be evaled to get back an identical copy of the
 original reference structure.
 .
 Any references that are the same as one of those passed in will be named
 $VARn (where n is a numeric suffix), and other duplicate references
 to substructures within $VARn will be appropriately labeled using arrow
 notation.  You can specify names for individual values to be dumped if you
 use the Dump() method, or you can change the default $VAR prefix to
 something else.  See $Data::Dumper::Varname and $Data::Dumper::Terse
 below.
 .


This package is needed to build/use taskjuggler (#239047)

But Data::Dumper is standard with Perl, and has been for a long time.

 Open Source is not an excuse to write fun code
then leave the actual work to others.

Am I missing something?  Does this really need to be seperately
packaged?

This is already part of perl-base...?

Yes, it's even exactly the same version (2.121) in the Debian
perl-base package version 5.8.4-8 so it's not as if perl-base is out
of date. As far as I can see there's no point packaging this
separately.

2005-04-07 Thread Aaron M. Ucko
Um, as far as I can tell, this module is already present in perl-base,
and even at the correct version:

$ dlocate -S /usr/lib/perl/*/Data/Dumper.pm
perl-base: /usr/lib/perl/5.8.4/Data/Dumper.pm
$ fgrep VERSION /usr/lib/perl/5.8.4/Data/Dumper.pm
$VERSION = '2.121';

As such, I see no reason to package it separately.
