Ahhh... very interesting... See, this is why I need Perl Monks to enlighten me. I wouldn't have guessed that the stringified version gave more than ref() did. Thanks, theorbtwo!

    Er. Actually you want to watch out that the objects dont have "" overloaded.

    In order to be totally safe you need to use 

    overload::StrVal($obj)

    Also, instead of the above mentioned Data::Denter (which I dont like) I would recommend Data::Dump (which I do).

      Ahhh.. Data::Dump is so much nicer than Data::Dumper. I like it too!
