Sometime ago I've stumped in a problem that Data::Dumper doesn't show cyrillic symbols correctly, so I write my own dumper: 

use Scalar::Util qw/blessed/;
use Data::Dumper;

sub pretty {
    my $self = shift;
    my $structure = shift;
    my $depth = shift;
    $depth = 0 if not defined $depth;
    $depth += 2;
    my $string;
    if (blessed($structure)) {
        return Dumper($structure);
    }

    if (ref $structure eq ref {} ) {
        # HASH 
        my @arr;
        foreach my $el (sort keys %{ $structure }) {
            push @arr, " "x$depth . $el ." => ". $self->pretty($$struc
+ture{$el},$depth);
        }
        $string .= "HASH { \n" .join(",\n",@arr,undef);
                $string .= " "x($depth-2) ."}";
    } elsif (ref $structure eq ref [] ) {
        # ARRAY 
        my @arr;
        foreach my $el ( @{ $structure }) {
            push @arr, " "x$depth . $self->pretty($el,$depth);
        }
        $string .=  "ARRAY [ \n" .join(",\n",@arr,undef);
                $string .= " "x($depth-2) ."]";
    } else {
        $string .= "'".$structure."'";
    }
    return $string;
}

As you can see, I've let Dumper deal with blessed structures, while hashes and arrays printing is done in my way.
