Data::Compare: `use Data::Compare; print "same" if Compare( $ref1, $ref2 );` [download] But be aware that Data::Compare may not necessarily do the right thing in the rare case that you try to compare an object which overloads the stringify or numify operations.	[reply] [d/l]

Struct::Compare: `use Struct::Compare; print "same" if compare( $ref1, $ref2 );` [download] CAVEAT: Struct::Compare doesn't handle blessed refs.	[reply] [d/l]
