Please note that I didn't pass any judgement upon Data::Dumper or any other existing module--I just simply asked if there was an alternative that fit my needs.

And tried to head off the offers of the "other" modules that I have already looked at, that also do not fit my needs.

Just because BrowserUk doesn't break up his data for analysis...

I have a requirement. I asked if anyone knew of a module that fit those requirements. You have no concept of what I am doing, or why I want this format.

For the record, I am not "looking for a programmatic error". I am looking for patterns in the data.

You'd be surprised at how the human eye and brain can detect patterns in data, even if the text is displayed in a very small (unreadable) font, and the data is scrolling quite fast. Once I perceive a pattern of some kind, I can then increase the font size and view the boundaries and repeat points of the pattern, so that I can then write code to pick out those boundaries and then plot the data graphically for further analysis.

For an example of something similar, download and run the code I posted at Re: Testing for randomness (spectral testing). Try uncommenting the constant line flagged as ## Really BAD!! and then allow the program to cycles for 2 or 3 minutes and see how it immediately shows up just how bad a Linear Congruential PRNG is with badly chosen values.

Then for contrast, install Math::Random::MT and run that for a few minutes (or hours or days) and see that the spectral test generated remains almost totally even, with just enough evenly distributed variation to show true randomness.

The whole point of the exercise, is to view a large volumes of data, together, in a consistent and repetative format, so that any patterns become obvious. So please, keep your supercilious and judgemental comments in your closet where they belong.
