Maybe it's because you did not follow the docs. Here is what they say:
# extended usage with names print Data::Dumper->Dump([$foo, $bar], [qw(foo *ary)]);
This is substantially different thatn what you wrote.
I use Data::Dumper a *lot* and always use the "extended usage with names" form, so I know it works.

I think I got it working.
I was unable to use the syntax suggested on CPAN:
# extended usage with names print Data::Dumper->Dump($variables);
I had to use something like this: print Dumper($variables);
I wish -- just once -- I could use the given syntax! I do more wrestling with syntax these days....
Thanks for trying to help.

Eek. No idea. I've never had a problem with Data::Dumper.
Maybe you
have a bad install? I just tried a small test perl script using Data::Dumper using Perl v5.8.0 on my Win 98 box (I know, I
know, I am
behind the times), and it worked fine. On the other hand,
I did a find
for Dumper.al on my Win 98 box and couldn't find it
anywhere. On the
third hand, ODBC stands for Open Database Connectivity and what connection it has to Data::Dumper, I have no idea. I found a Win32::ODBC FAQ at http://www.roth.net/perl/odbc/faq/
though. Maybe you
need to install Win32::ODBC?

I took a look.
Dumper is located in the Data folder in the /lib
directory, but not in
/site/lib. Does that matter?
When I put in "use Data::Dumper;" and tried to use it, the script compiled, but when I ran it I got the following error message:
"Can't locate auto/Win32/ODBC/Dumper.al in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .)"
What does that mean?

My impression has always been that Data::Dumper is a core
standard
module (that is, it is very likely to be included) in every Perl binary distribution. Have you checked to see if it's not already installed on your machine?

When I tried installing Data-Dumper via PPM, I got the following error message:
"Error: no suitable installation target found for
package Data-Dumper."
What does this mean and how can I rectify it? I really
would like to
--install the package.
I am using Perl 5.8.3.809 on a machine running Windows XP Pro.
