in thread Concept map of data types

Hi,

You can use Data::Dumper like so:

use Data::Dumper; my @abc = #abc is an array of references to arrays ( [qw (q w e r)], [qw (1 x 3 r)], [qw (qwe rt 434 )], ); print Dumper ( \@abc ); ## pass array @abc as an array reference my $abc = #abc is an array reference that contains references to ar +rays [ [qw (q w e r)], [qw (1 x 3 r)], [qw (qwe rt 434 )], ]; print Dumper ($abc); ## pass the array reference

Both print the following:

$VAR1 = [ [ 'q', 'w', 'e', 'r' ], [ '1', 'x', '3', 'r' ], [ 'qwe', 'rt', '434' ] ];
Showing 'stringified perl data structures'. It shows you how your data is structured.
Hope this helps
