in thread Regex with lookahead

IIRC Data::Dump RFC:SHOULD be preferred because it is less exploitable security-wise. I did some searching—the similar names and stemming make it difficult—and could not find a source for my belief though, so take it with a grain of salt. I certainly prefer the default output formatting in any case. :P

    Thanks for this explanation, and your security concern trumps my "if I forget a random use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $x; in a test file, it'll pass on all Perls even though it's not listed as a prereq".

    Not saying that happens often, but it most definitely has happened.
