in reply to hashes of doom !

I suggest picking an indentation style that does not indent nearly so deeply, nearly so fast.

It doesn't look as pretty, but a consistent indent somewhere between 2-4 characters will greatly improve comprehension. See the appropriate chapter of Code Complete for details and references to studies on which that statement is based.

    I was planning to add some more configurability at this version, because the first one was mostly a 'my-first-GD' attempt. Based on this, i have added the indent option (which is measured in characters), and defaulted to 4. Thanks for all of the help.

      I am sorry if I was unclear.

      I was talking about the layout of the configuration bit, not the output.

      Sorry.

        I suspect you may need to direct this complaint to Data::Dumper, as that looks like output from that module to me. If Data::Dumper knew how to dump to a file handle instead of only building huge strings, then that would probably become my number one complaint about it. (:
