Subject: A couple more questions

Hi Kaspar,

I offered the code below to someone who wanted to output the values of a
hash as an array of arrays.    I used 'eval' in order to display a sample
program statement and then execute the statement with cutting and pasting.

Then I ran across your response in the current thread and that led me to try
it out by appendind a couple of statement to produce additional output.
That led me to ask you the following:

1. 'inspect' produced correct output from the hash,  but it's not formatted
at all.  Is it correct that 'inspect' is really useful only for "quick and
dirty" dumping of an object's data and programming as done earlier in the
attached code is required for anything more?

2. Would you recommend any improvement to my coding in either of these
approaches?

Best wishes,
Richard
