Are there modules faster than Data::Dump?
Interesting. I'd never heard of Data::Dump. I always use Data::Dumper.
Have you tried that? It uses XS code so it should be faster.
Data::Dump comes with the ActivePerl distribution. From the Data::Dump
documentation:
The |Data::Dump| module grew out of frustration with Sarathy's
in-most-cases-excellent |Data::Dumper|. Basic ideas and some code are
shared with Sarathy's module.
The |Data::Dump| module provides a much simpler interface than
|Data::Dumper|. No OO interface is available and there are no
configuration options to worry about (yet :-). The other benefit is
that the dump produced does not try to set any variables. It only
returns what is needed to produce a copy of the arguments. This means
that |dump("foo")| <../../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_dump> simply
returns |"foo"|, and |dump(1..5)|
<../../../lib/Pod/perlfunc.html#item_dump> simply returns |(1, 2, 3,
4, 5)|.
I tried Data::Dumper, and it ran a bit slower than Data::Dump.
You can also try Storable.
I will. Thanks.
