in reply to Data::Dumper Limitations

I managed to break it with a HOAOHOAOHOA with a mere 100 entries...I watched the memory usage climb to 1.5GB before it gave up. It worked OK with 75 which was enough for me to verify the structure, so I didn't bother persuing a solution. For the record, Storable worked OK with the structure so persistence was achievable (into an Oracle LOB as it happens).
