Perl Data::Dumper Module

I'm gathering data about how my company uses LDAP and need to peruse some rather large chunks of the schema + data and turn it into information I can use to build an extraction routine to use with SAS.

I've decided to use Perl to write a dump routine to spit out data to a file. Data::Dumper seems like the right place to start, especially if I want to reuse the dumped data in more Perl code. So, I started out learning about Data::Dumper.

Using Emacs to Write Perl

Learning Perl

As a UNIX administrator with no Perl experience this was invaluable to me.  Since I read it all the way through, I've found it very useful as a reference.  Its a definite must for anybody wanting (or needing) to learn Perl.
