in thread Is there a way to reduce Data::Dumper's output size?

$dumper_output =~ s/ +/ /g;

Probably not a good idea...

use Data::Dumper;
my $dumper_output = Dumper({"foo   bar"=>"quz\n   baz"});
print $dumper_output;
$dumper_output =~ s/ +/ /g;
print $dumper_output;
__END__
$VAR1 = {
          'foo   bar' => 'quz
   baz'
        };
$VAR1 = {
 'foo bar' => 'quz
 baz'
 };

Ooops, yes, you are quite right, I did not think of the cases where keys or values might have multiple spaces. This would usually not happen where I work (because we usually normalize keys and values), but, yes, there is a danger of messing things up. Thank you for for the comment. Je suis Charlie.	[reply]
