> Note that if you strongly object to source filters, I've also released Data::Dumper::Names. It does what this module does by it uses PadWalker instead of a source filter. Unfortunately, it has a few limitations and is not as powerful as this module. Think of Data::Dumper::Names as a "proof of concept".

Ovid didn't update this text for years, but last time I talked to him he was very confident about this being stable.

But please note that PadWalker has still limitations, like when being called from within an eval .

see PadWalker::var_name BUG?
