[Pdx-pm] module recommendation: regex over data structure

[Josh Heumann]

Data::Dumper is truly interesting, and might be worth it if it's as elegant
a solution as it sounds like it might be, since there won't be any blessed
objects to worry about.

Data::Visitor::Callback is an idea that merits a little work; the docs
aren't the clearest, but this might work.

Using YAML/JSON isn't a bad idea, but I'm worried about the performance hit.

I'll try these in order and report back.
