I even always use Data::Dumper for debugging output. So I can also spot (invisible) control characters, and I can also dump complex data structures for free. To safe key strokes I use an emacs macro for this:
(defun perl-insert-data-dumper ()
(interactive)
(insert "require Data::Dumper; print STDERR \"Line \" . __LINE__ . \
+", File: \" . __FILE__ . \"\\n\" . Data::Dumper->new([],[])->Indent(1
+)->Useqq(1)->Dump; # XXX\n")
(forward-char -40)
)
(define-key global-map [C-f12] 'perl-insert-data-dumper)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
