+perl-data-dump (Data::Dump - Pretty printing of data structures)
+
+This module provide a few functions that traverse their argument and
+produces a string as its result. The string contains Perl code that,
+when evaled, produces a deep copy of the original arguments.
+
+The main feature of the module is that it strives to produce output that
+is easy to read.
+
+Note: This is not the same thing as Data::Dumper (which is already
+included in Slackware's perl package).
