how to dump a complicated data structure with ruby?

I wrote:

p data

or:

puts data.inspect

They didn't work nice.

Thanks.

I believe Marshal and Yaml are what you want.

Kind regards

Alternatively to YAML, JSON (in Ruby 1.9: require "json";
data.to_json) could work, too.

Though the folk I have met,
(Ah, how soon!) they forget
When I've moved on to some other place,
There may be one or two,
When I've played and passed through,
Who'll remember my song or my face.

There is also pp / prettyprint in the standard library.
