low memory version of Data::Dumper

hey all,

I was hoping I could get around having to invent a wheel, so I
was wondering if anyone new of a Dumper equivalent that was an iterator
rather than stringifying the whole variable at once, ie:

use Data::Dumper::Iter;

my $iter = Dumper::Iter->new($variable);

while ($text = $iter->fetch())
{
print STDERR $text;
}

where '$text' contains the same stuff that it would in a Data::Dumper
call. (ie: $VAR1 = '...', etc)

Any ideas of modules that do the above? I'm constrained on memory, so
I can't use Dumper as it stands.

Ed

I'm not enttirely sure I understand your problem, but search.cpan.org is
your friend. A search for 'dump' produced a reference to
Data::Dump::Streamer on the second page, which sounds like it might be
useful.
