Is this stuff in my suitcase toxic?

A sheet of plastic on the inside of an old suitcase I'm using has crumbled into this brittle mess, which I've been scooping out of with my hands. It smells like warm plastic or crayons, but really strong Any idea what has happened, and should I have been wearing gloves?
Best answer: It's probably PVC that the plasticizers have leached out of. I wouldn't eat it, but you'll live. The plasticizers are the nasty bit.
