JSON is a subset of javascript for easy parsing.  So sometimes you might
have to adjust your perl data structures to turn them into JSON.
Data::Javascript translates any valid perl (including circular references)
at the cost of extra verbosity.

I should add this to the description don't you think?

I don't know if the DBIProfile plugin really needs all the power of
Data::Javascript.  I'll ask the author if he can use JSON instead.
