I have used the following logic to
identify blessed things.
Somewhere years ago I got the impression that a stringified reference was defined to be of the form commonly seen: or
But perlref for 5.8.0 says: Using a reference as a string produces both its referent's type, including any package blessing as described in perlobj, as well as the numeric address expressed in hex. This doesn't guarantee the =, the (, the ) or the order of the other elements. Is there any usage of stringified refs in existing code that would inhibit an alteration of their format? Or am I just a odd man out. In reply to stringified references by rir
