broquaint, I wish that I could ++ this node several times. It didn't even occur to me to use Data::Dumper's test suite! I'll definately do that. If I don't try it, I will at least look at Data::BFDump's test suite.

I'm trying to keep the footprint for this module as small as possible. That is the reason why I decided to roll my own quoting mechanism in this instance.

what does D::D::L offer that other dumper modules on CPAN do not e.g Data::Dump is a relatively lightweight dumper written written in pure perl ?
Like Data::Dump (which is not listed with the other Data:: modules on CPAN), I am trying to mimic Data::Dumper's functionality without the added complexity of options. Would I call D::D::L a full-fledged pretty-printer (like Data::Dumper is)? No, it is a 'lightweight, object-oriented perl data structure stringifier'. ;-) Hey, I'll have to add that to the name section of the POD (once it has POD)!
