Perl equiv to PHP print_r

[Aidan]

Hi Perl Peoples,

I'm quit new to perl, but have a pretty good knowledge of PHP. I'm playing
around with a few packages, and I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out how
to deal with hashes. In PHP, if I wanted to view the contents of $hash, all
I needed to do would be dump it out by using:

<? print_r($hash); ?>

And I would get a nice heirachial display of the data contained within
$hash. Is there an equivalent function in Perl? I'm sure there is, but
after much googling, I still can't find what it is... can anyone here tell
me what it is?

TIA
