perl is no longer supported by DDD
When a Perl hash element happens to have a string such as:
'hi.there'
for its hash key, and that hash is being Displayed in the data window, one may right-click on the element to bring up a new Display of the item value.
Doing so is necessary only when the item value is an array reference or other such indirect value, because a simple scalar value would already appear in the original hash Display.
But let's say you do have a hash element whose value involves indirection and you try to launch a new "sub"-Display of the hash element's value. What gets displayed is not $hash{'hi.there'} but rather $hash{'there'}. And that hash elem is usually undefined.
It seems like the dot char '.' within the hash key string confuses ddd and causes it to then treat the hash value as residing at an incorrect slot in the hash. Namely one whose key is only the "trailing" portion of the key string (the portion following the last dot). The right behavior would be to use all of the string, not just that trailing portion.
