in thread non-scalar hash key

I'm afraid I do not have the luxury of adding another element to the hash values. We're dealing with a massive amount of data.

    I'm not suggesting that you add more data to your input files, if that's what you thought I meant.

    I'm suggesting that you extend the way the data is held in perl hashes/arrays/etc in memory when your program is running. And if you're not permitted to change how your program represents its data internally, then I'm not sure there's anything that anyone can do for you :-)

    use JAPH;
    print JAPH::asString();

      I meant that I do not have the luxury of adding more information to the hash because I'm already running out of memory for some texts.
