djbiv has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Is there a limit to the size of a hash value? I some code reading a file to insert hash values, my program needs to be able to store a couple of fields that may be as large as 999 bytes, but when I try to read a value of 303 bytes into my hash it's getting truncated at 177 bytes?

    Are you sure it is being truncated exactly there? Try running this:

      print "before: $value\n";
  $hash{key} = $value;
  print "after: $hash{key}\n";
