Thanks again all for input;
I have never used Data Dumper before.
Please excuse my ignorance but when unzipped where do the various components go?

    Don't feel you need to excuse ignorance -- we were all there once (even if some of us forget from time to time)!

    It sounds like you're asking how to install Data::Dumper::Simple. For that, let me suggest you read A Guide to Installing Modules from the Tutorials section.

    -xdg

    If you are using ActiveState Perl on Win32, then all you probably need to do is open a command window and type "ppm install Data::Dumper::Simple"

    On a *nix system, then it would be "perl -MCPAN -e install Data::Dumper::Simple"

    But there is of course a lot more to understand about installing and using modules than that - so yes, as xdg suggests - check out the tutorials :)

      I'm using windows, tried to install from CMD but said try broader search first. Will try to install after reading tutorials. The only PM I have used so far has been "porter" and I just dropped it in the lib folder. This captured leading/trailing space is driving me crazy. Have posted again! Thanks again for all your help Gavin
