Re^2: Data::Dump::Streamer Dump in concatenation

Are you sure? It says in docs


  my $obj=Dump($x,$y);         # Returns an object
  my $str=Dump($x,$y)->Out();  # Returns a string of the dump.
  my @code=Dump($x,$y);        # Returns a list of the dump.

  Dump($x,$y);                 # prints the dump.
  print Dump($x,$y);           # prints the dump.

Ah, so it does. Probably because the author figured many people would try to use it that way anyway. I missed it originally because the first and only appearance of this usage is halfway through the substantial documentation. The docs are very clear that it only works in list context, though. (Anything else would conflict with the normal usages.)	[reply]
