[Haskell-beginners] How to show a record

Hello all, I have a record type like this data Payload = Pl { pType :: Char, accepts :: String, produces :: String, workarea :: String} deriving (Eq) an I want to write my own show function. I ended up with somethink like this show pl = concatMap ( $ pl) [show . pType, show . accepts, show . produces, show . workarea] That repetition of "show ." annoys me, but of course without it the elements of that list would have different types. Is there a way around it and how does haskell itself manage to show records?
