Re^2: A simple Comparison

This doesn't work if one or both of the objects is global, Storable::freeze will fail with "Can't store GLOB items".

GLOB and "global" are two different things. You can easily freeze global variables, but you can't freeze typeglobs, see "Typeglobs and Filehandles" in perldata. `use Storable; bless our $x = [], 'My::class'; print Storable::freeze($x); # No error, $x is global. bless my $y = \*STDERR, 'My::class'; print Storable::freeze($y); # Can't store GLOB items, $y is le +xical.` [download] لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]

perldata

use Storable;
bless our $x = [], 'My::class';
print Storable::freeze($x);         # No error, $x is global.

bless my $y = \*STDERR, 'My::class';
print Storable::freeze($y);         # Can't store GLOB items, $y is le
+xical.
