in reply to Data::Dumper Limitations

At the very least, I've seen Data::Dumper get painfully slow with complex data structures. It might be easier and faster to simply roll your own. Something like this would probably get you 90% of the way there:
foreach my $key1 (keys %hash) { print "$key1:\n"; foreach my $key2 (keys %{$hash{$key1}}) { print " $key2:\n"; foreach my $key3 (keys %{$hash{$key1}{$key2}}) { print " $key3:\n " , join (",",@{$hash{$key1}{$key2}{$key3}}), "\n"; } } }
