It has been pointed out to me that it may be normal for clone and dclone not to work. If this is indeed the case, may I change this bug report into a feature request? - XML::LibXML should probably croak instead of cause a SEGV - The documentation may be clarified with respect to this

Maybe it would be possible, but: 1. XML::LibXML already contains a lot of documentation and many people don't read it all. 2. We can try croaking instead of causing a SEGV, but there are other ways to serialise and deserialise an object (JSON / YAML / etc.) and I'm not sure we can support them all. Regards, -- Shlomi Fish
