So, if the problem is that
Data::Dumper dumps some structures wrong, then submit a patch to
Data::Dumper, rather than inventing something different that a lot of people won't know about and leaving the buggy code in a core distribution.
As for your example:
$x = 4;
$xx = sub{\@_}->(\$x, \$x);
$y = \4;
$yy = sub{\@_}->($y, $y);
bless \$xx->[0], 'Foo';
bless \$xx->[1], 'Bar';
bless \$yy->[0], 'Foo';
bless \$yy->[1], 'Bar';
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $xx, $yy;
I suspect you haven't seen the
Purity flag, which needs to be set in some more complex data, such as yours.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
