DBM::Deep uses loads of ties and overloading, so I wouldn't necessarily trust the output of Data::Dumper to provide you with any sort of useful representation of its contents.

Why not?

FWIW , the op's dumper output shows circular references , so I'd suspect the OPs real code before I'd worry about Data::Dumper getting something wrong
