I'm using the perl debugger to analyze a large hash. However, when I display it (with x) it fills up the display and I can't see the start of the hash. Is there a way to pipe the output through something similar to less?

  • Use Data::Dumper for Output. So you can print it in a file and work wich a text tool. – Jens Jun 06 '14 at 14:47
  • for slightly better output, I'd recommend [`Data::Dump`](https://metacpan.org/pod/Data::Dump) – Miller Jun 06 '14 at 19:32

You might look at Devel::Trace that you can run via the command line and capture output. Run with perl -d:Trace program. http://metacpan.org/pod/Devel::Trace

Data::Dumper is also very useful.

  • Yeah I ended up using Dumper to just output the hash to a file. Thanks for the recommendation. –  Jun 06 '14 at 17:17
