  Sun Jun 17 11:16:43 2012 NHORNE [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: encode_utf8 / decode_utf8 reference
Please modify encode_utf8 and decode_utf8 to allow a reference to a string to be given. This will save considerable memory on the stack when encoding/decoding large amounts of data.

In Perl all subrouting arguments are passed by reference (i.e. "aliasing"). Problem that those subroutines copy it, thus it indeed doubles the memory usage. This is true for decode/encode/decode_utf8/encode_utf8 Not sure if that can be worked around without side effects. On Sun Jun 17 19:16:43 2012, NHORNE wrote: Show quoted text
