Dear Maintainer, In experiments with Data::Dx this week under perl 5.24.1, I found my process consuming all CPU/memory after trying to dump a large multilevel data structure all ASCII characters. I observed another oddity in dumping an AoH structure with Japanese character data as hash values: Calling 'Dx @array' clobbered the data in @array, leaving the array empty. Both data structures dump immediately with Data::Dump. Regards, Joel Roth --

Hi Joel, Thanks for the report. The problem appears to be in the text-colouring component of the module. I've tried various fixes, but nothing seems to help once the data structure gets big. As a workaround, use: use Data::Dx { colour=>0 }; Or just use Data::Dump if you don't need Data::Dx's other features. I'll leave this bug open and keep pecking away at it. Damian

Hi again, I think I fixed the problem. Just uploaded a new release (version 0.000008). Let me know if you still have issues. Thanks again, Damian
