But its not the same modification. It only feels the same because you use the same notation, but what actually happens is not the same. Since the stringified version of the ref contains the address of the ref the action is different. You shouldnt be surprised when you say "replace $x with a unique value, and then replace $y with a unique value" that $x!=$y :-) > ... and what do you know, I would welcome is_deeply to continue > behaving like this. :-) Well, it would seem enough people share your opinion that you need not worry about it changing :-) yves -- perl -Mre=debug -e "/just|another|perl|hacker/"
